Michel Poiccard, an irresponsible sociopath and small-time thief, steals a car and impulsively murders the motorcycle policeman who pursues him. Now wanted by the authorities, he renews his relationship with Patricia Franchini, a hip American girl studying journalism at the Sorbonne, whom he had met in Nice a few weeks earlier. Before leaving Paris, he plans to collect a debt from an underworld acquaintance and expects her to accompany him on his planned getaway to Italy. Even with his face in the local papers and media, Poiccard seems oblivious to the dragnet that is slowly closing around him as he recklessly pursues his love of American movies and libidinous interest in the beautiful American.
Leave your thoughts about Breathless.
| New York PressArmond WhiteThough rarely discussed as either a love story or a political film, Breathless maintains fascination because it is equally both. |
| Time OutDave CalhounIf you've never seen Breathless, see it now -- but don't expect an easy ride. If you haven't seen it for ages, see it again and be surprised at the fresh reactions it provokes. |
| At the MoviesMichael PhillipsBreathless feels like it was [made] tomorrow. |
| Christian Science MonitorPeter RainerOne of the most famous and influential movies ever made. |
| Village VoiceElla TaylorBreathless makes alienation look like it was a lot more fun in 1960 than in the ponderous gravitas or ante-upping brutality of indie film today. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger EbertModern movies begin here, with Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless in 1960. No debut film since Citizen Kane in 1942 has been as influential. |
| Montreal Film JournalKevin N. LaforestIt's as innovative as it is entertaining. It's clever, hilarious, amazing... You just can't miss this! |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonBreathless became a kind of existential hipster classic, a cool flick as well as great cinema. |
| BBC.comGeorge PerryA revolution swept French cinema into the 1960s, and this film seized the public by its throat. |
| Daily Telegraph (UK)Sukhdev SandhuAlmost every frame looks smoky and luscious enough to be a nation to which lovers and young dreamers might hope one day to emigrate. It's a film that will never wither, always inspire. |
