Breathless
Jean-Luc Godard – The Spirit of the Forms
October 9 - 31, 2013
Presented in 35mm!
How much more can possibly be said of this fresh, buoyant, surprising film about a small-time gangster on the run (Jean-Paul Belmondo) and his capricious American girlfriend (Jean Seberg)? The denatured post-synched sound… the vivacity of Raoul Coutard’s cinematography… the springy pace that seems to skip like a stone across the action… the energy of Breathless seems self-replenishing.
