A hip, jokey thriller in which the sketchy plot serves as an excuse for stylistic flourishes and philosophical asides.

With the appearance of Breathless, we have a film that is new, aesthetically and morally.

Breathless jumps to its own rhythm and pokes holes in its idols even as it worships them.
August 20, 2010 | Rating: 5/5 -
On its fiftieth birthday Breathless remains fresh and exciting, although its revolutionary approach has long since been absorbed into the mainstream, and the years do show on it a bit.

Even 50 years later, it's easy feel how vivid a game-changer Breathless must have been when it arrived.

Jun 02, 20183/06/2018 - Overrated. The films opening scene is great, but afterwards basically nothing happens until Michel's death, which couldn't have come soon enough.Peter B Super Reviewer

Mar 07, 2013An iconic film of the French New Wave that revolutionized film-making in general, Breathless is unconventional in many ways but undeniably impressive and unique. From its frequent jump cuts to its leisurely pacing and improvisational dialogue, Breathless is far from a typical drama, and it demonstrates New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard's endless love of film and film-making that separates the movie from its counterparts and makes it a must-see movie for any self-respecting film buff.Joey S Super Reviewer

Feb 08, 2013A landmark in cinema history, due mostly to revolutionary editing techniques, pop culture references, and a biting undercurrent of intellectualism.Kase V Super Reviewer

Oct 12, 2012This is the first Godard movie I can say I was vividly entertained throughout the whole movie. A unique love story between a murderer and an American girl in France. Stuffed with memorable dialogue and every moment something was happening. Practically every single second was filled. I still hate Godard's cinematography style, it's annoying and confusing. Unlike the other Godard works I've seen though this one kept you into it, and started the French new wave.Daniel D Super Reviewer
