About
Breathless
Famed for ushering in the French New Wave and spurring as many references as it cites, Breathless is a masterwork of cinematic form. This, Godard's debut, redefines expectations of filmic language through exercises of narrative and temporal expectations, while also exploring the burgeoning existentialist theories and sexual politics of the time. Above all, and perhaps at all, the film exudes an indescribable charm.
