Breathless (A Bout De Souffle) (NR)

synopsis

Godard's jazzy riff on American Film Noir features iconic performances from Jean-Paul Belmondo, as the on-the-run Bogart-inspired small-time hood, and Jean Seberg as his American, Herald Tribune-hawking girlfriend, who ultimately betrays him. With a pace that's non-stop, thanks to its startling new editing techniques, BREATHLESS reinvented the grammar of movies and almost instantly changed the course of international filmmaking.
