408 - Breathless
2 Attachment(s)
Cover scan of the Criterion issue of Jean-Luc Godard's "Ŕ bout de souffle (1960)" (spine #408).
There was before Breathless, and there was after Breathless. With its lack of polish, surplus of attitude, crackling personalities of rising stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, and anything-goes crime narrative, Jean-Luc Godard’s debut fashioned a simultaneous homage to and critique of the American film genres that influenced and rocked him as a film writer for Cahiers du cinéma. Jazzy, free-form, and sexy, Breathless (Ŕ bout de souffle) helped launch the French New Wave and ensured cinema would never be the same. Cheers! |
