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.
I had the same experience watching this as I did watching Black Bear: this movie wasn’t made for me, but maybe the person/group/role that it was made for will appreciate it more than I do.
