Allan Arkush on “Breathless”
Feb 13, 2012
Trailer 696 of 696
Film critic Jean-Luc Godard's first feature directorial outing, based on a concept by Francois Truffaut, followed The 400 Blows and Hiroshima Mon Amour as a pillar of the French New Wave. Shooting on the run without permits, sound equipment or much in the way of lights, Godard rewrote and improvised anew each day. Star Jean Seberg, playing without makeup, was initially perplexed by the home movie atmosphere and Godard's apparent misogyny, but returned to reprise her Breathless character in Godard's short Le Grand Escroc. Jim McBride's 1983 American remake starred Richard Gere.

Beautiful black and white and Seberg and Belmondo both look amazing..

Irwin Allen certainly made a career out of recycled footage. He kept Paul Zastupnevich busy creating costumes that matched up to footage from FOX's vast library...

I love this trailer so much. When the 50th anniversary restoration toured, it came with this awesome tribute trailer (it has some helpful translations of some the French utterances in this preview): http://www...

Best to stay away from Lumberton, you might have to spend the night drinking Pabst Blue Ribbon with Dennis Hopper..
