There was beforeBreathless,and there was afterBreathless.Jean-Luc Godard burst onto the film scene in 1960 with this jazzy, free-form, and sexy homage to the American film genres that inspired him as a writer forCahiers du cinma.With its lack of polish, surplus of attitude, anything-goes crime narrative, and effervescent young stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg,Breathlesshelped launch the French New Wave and ensured that cinema would never be the same.
