Brilliantly and digitally restored for its 50th Anniversary, Breathless (A Bout De Souffle) returns to theaters in stunning HD format. This groundbreaking work of French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard tells the tale of a young car thief who kills a policeman and tries to persuade an American girl to flee to Italy with him. Cigarettes, sunglasses and determined nonconformity made Jean Paul Belmondo a true cinematic star, playing against the innocent Jean Seberg. But it’s Godard’s startlingly new (and still fresh) filmmaking that is the real star. It’s just one of the most important films in the history of the movies, that’s all!
1960 – 1 hr 27 min – France – b/w – HD Digital – d: Jean-Luc Godard – w/subtitles

Godard still has a lot to offer future filmmakers: http://bit.ly/dkENct
Thanks for this. Haven’t actually seen much stuff by Godard, but this looks great.
