Near Marseille, Poiccard, a car thief, kills a police motorcyclist, then joins an American woman in Paris with whom he claims to be in love…
"Once upon a time, there was a classical cinema, a cinema of entertainment, of social capture, a cinema locked in its rules and academic machinery, which is shaken by the comet named Breathless. This first feature film cut through 1960 and shattered the heads and senses of viewers. The New Wave pushes toward the unknown, directly reflecting the spirit of its time, challenging the film industry, betting on creativity freed from conventions and offering a new way to make images."
(Dick Tomasovic, La Septième Obsession)
"What makes Breathless a masterpiece along with its style is how Godard captures the overall malcontent, which still resonates with much of modern life as we know it and ultimately leaves us all breathless." (Film Threat)
