Breathless is so effortlessly iconic, if only because a girl and a criminal are filmed discussing sorrow and sex in a hotel room so naturalistically in impressively long shots. Both of the characters are both so 'chic', and the approach to cinematography so unconventionally 'modern', it makes one wonder how such a 'cool' film as this one hadn't been made before. I myself can watch Breathless again and again.

Reminded me: Jean Vigo's films and Film Noir. Jazz - spontaneity - jump cut - vigor of the masterworks, I liked it very much.

All you need for a movie is a girl and a gun, right?

Once again Godard has blown me away, I just thought this was the coolest film full of great dialogue (pulled off nicely by the two leads) and a great story. Godard's film's have a sense of timelessness to them, I mean this came out in 1960 but it sure didn't really feel like it. He has such a unique style of direction too.Can't give enough love for this film.

legitimately stunned me. very clever and thought-provoking, with beautiful scenes constructed masterfully by Godard. a must-see for anyone with good taste.

It's odd to me how discussion of Godard and Truffaut's early films is overwhelmingly positive and yet at the same time only focused on their influence. The reality is that the films themselves (The 400 Blows, Shoot the Piano Player, Breathless) are merely good, not great. They do their job and it's a serviceable one, but they're mostly just immature, chauvinistic romanticism of the annoyingly French variety.

    Breathless isn't Godard's best i agree. He got as time went on. But its influence can't be denied. To say the 400 blows is merely good is crazy. its Truffaut greatest film in my eyes. Shoot the piano player was the last time Truffaut took risks as a film maker aftre it flopped he didn't take chances with his films

    Jules and Jim was by the numbers? I disagree. I never said their influence could be denied, I simply said that the films themselves weren't exactly masterpieces.

Sorry, but "Shoot the Piano Player" is better. It's probably a sin to not like this, but...sorry.

Although IMO he surpassed this film in thmatic scope and quality, it's a reminder that in his best films there is, behind Godard's heady intellectualism, always the glamour of a sexy man and a sexy woman.

It's the coolest film i've ever seen, the music, the city, the camerawork, the style. It's perfect.

Perplexing, different, and full of jazz, this film oddly appeals to me.

First time watching this movie, I loved it. 5 stars for Jean-Pierre Melville being asked the most stupid questions ever.

I was kind of dreading this one. After lucking out by beginning my acquintance with JLG with a brief string of films I found good to great (including Contempt, Weekend, A Woman Is A Woman, and Band of Outsiders), I've been striking out on everything I've seen lately. Alphaville? Yuck! Pierrot Le Fou? Barf! This had more in common with the Godard I like, though. Not mind-blowing for me, but not bad, and that's OK.

Good dialogues and great performances. It's curious to watch because it doesn't meets with the normal way of telling stories in movies.

nouvelle vague was something everyone needed: an excuse to not request specialists when editing the film. almost every scene is hardly completed so that overall, everything looks like a surrealist fiasco. I guess I like that.

I think people take this movie too seriously. At least, more seriously than Godard ever did.
