BREATHLESS - 50TH ANNIVERSARY RESTORATION

100 min | Not Rated
Written by François Truffaut and photographed by New Wave legend Raoul Coutard, with no less a crime specialist than Claude Chabrol as technical advisor, 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.
