Overview

After writing for Cahiers du cinéma, a young Jean-Luc Godard decides making films is the best film criticism. He convinces producer Georges de Beauregard to fund a low-budget feature, and creates a treatment with fellow New Wave filmmaker François Truffaut about a gangster couple. The result? Breathless, one of the first features of the Nouvelle Vague era of French cinema.

Viewing Notes

Fascinating look at the beginnings of the French New Wave, focusing on Godard’s filming of BREATHLESS.

I loved the recreations of scenes from BREATHLESS, and the whole film is shot with the look and feel of an early nouvelle vague film.

I felt like a total geek, recognizing all the people being portrayed.
