Its original French title is "À bout de souffle" which translates more nearly to "at breath's end."

Its original French title is "À bout de souffle" which translates more nearly to "at breath's end." Along with [[Francois Truffaut]]'s ''[[The Adventures of Antoine Doinel\|The 400 Blows]]'' and Alain Resnais' ''Hiroshima, Mon Amour'', it gained attention for the [[French New Wave]]. The basic plot is fairly simple, seasoned by Godard with pop-cultural meta-commentary and Paris travelogue. Petty criminal Michel steals a car and, seeing that a policeman is following him on motorcycle, shoots said cop. He then flees to Paris and hides out with his American girlfriend. Eventually after she learns that he is a fugitive, she turns him in to the police. After a chase through the city on foot, he is shot and killed. ''Breathless'' made an international star of former boxer [[Jean-Paul Belmondo]] and raised the profile of [[Jean Seberg]], whose Hollywood career had stalled when she starred in the big budget flop ''[[Pope Joan]]''. {{tropelist}} ~~==== Tropes associated with ''Breathless'' include: ====~~ * [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: Godard doesn't go as crazy with it here as much as in later films like ''Le Weekend'', but Michel frequently talks to the camera/audience. * [[Creator Cameo]]: Godard shows up briefly as an informant.
