Jean-Luc Godard : the ultimate collection
A bout de souffle Breathless
There was before Breathless, and there was after Breathless. Jean-Luc Godard burst onto the film scene in 1960 with this jazzy, free-form, and sexy homage to the American film genres that inspired him as a writer for Cahiers du cinéma. With its lack of polish, surplus of attitude, anything-goes crime narrative, and effervescent young stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, Breathless helped launch the French New Wave and ensured that cinema would never be the same.

"Michel Poiccard, an irresponsible sociopath and small-time thief, steals a car and impulsively murders the motorcycle policeman who pursues him. Now wanted by the authorities, he renews his relationship with Patricia Franchini, a hip American girl studying journalism at the Sorbonne, whom he had met in Nice a few weeks earlier.

Een liefdesgeschiedenis tussen een voortvluchtige misdadiger en een jonge Amerikaanse journaliste.
Tras robar un coche en Marsella, Michel, un joven ladrón, mata fortuitamente a un motorista de la policía. Sin remordimiento alguno por lo que acaba de hacer, prosigue el viaje a París, donde, luego de robar dinero a una amiga, busca a Patricia (Jean Seberg), una joven burguesa americana, que aspira a ser escritora. Lo que Michel ignora es que la policía lo está buscando por la muerte del motorista y Patricia lo traicionará.
A laserdisc of the film. Michel, on the run after shooting a policeman, is betrayed by his girlfriend, Patricia, an expatriate American. The plot is drawn from the 'B' crime thriller and Godard pays homage to Hollywood's action genres but his free approach to narrative and stylistics made this the most original and influential of the early New Wave films. The theme of the limits of personal freedom on the boundary between anarchism and nihilism emerges almost casually. The sense of dislocation is most obvious in Godard's use of the jump cut, a device which he rarely, if ever, used again although he retained the effect. A more accurate translation of the title is 'out of breath' rather than the more romantic 'breathless'
