Allan Arkush on “Breathless”
Feb 13, 2012
Trailer 696 of 736
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.

One of the best and most entertaining horror films of the 80's. Amanda Donohoe is hilariously unforgettable...

These days horror movies seem to have lost the ability to also be profoundly sexy, Ken show us how it's done..

I am pleased that trallers from hell have finally uploaded the traller for one of the greatest film musicals ever made. I saw this again recently and it still hits the bullseye

A film so completely over the top it could only have come from the late and sorely missed Ken Russell. Great stuff all round.

This film, along with "The Great Dictator" and the (pretty terrible) "Once Upon a Honeymoon", shows that the plight of oppressed Europeans was a comic goldmine for Hollywood! A really wonderful comedy with a fine atmosphere of moral and physical decay, this is one of the most adult films of the 1940s, with a very interesting subtext regarding Jews and Poles "passing" for Germans, a very common means of survival during those awful times..
