Breathless (Godard, 1959)
VHS £12.99
Film Description 'Après tout, je suis con.' So states petty thief Michel at the start of Godard's film in which a dash of flair and subversive Gallic insouciance are added to the language of American B-movies. Belmondo plays the thief on the run, Seberg his New York Herald Tribune-selling lover. An iconic example of the nouvelle vague that is still sharp and exciting cinema.

Review by Carol on 20th October 2001 Jean-Luc Godard’s debut New Wave masterpiece is actually one of the zingiest, happiest, liveliest films you ever did see. Jean Seberg is simply bursting with vitality and Jean Paul Belmondo plays the archetypal small time criminal in the most stylish manner. The music is so cool. It seems amazing that the film was actually made 40 years ago. A breath of fresh air.
