Line 1: {{work\|wppage=Breathless (1960 film)}} [[File:Affiche-a-bout-de-souffle-1959-1.jpg\|thumb\|300px]] '''''Breathless''''' is a 1960 film directed by [[Jean-Luc Godard]], in his feature film-making debut. 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]].▼ ▲''Breathless'' is a 1960 film directed by [[Jean-Luc Godard]], in his feature film-making debut. 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}} Line 19 ⟶ 18: {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Roger Ebert Great Movies List~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:The Criterion Collection]] [[Category:The Criterion Collection (LaserDisc)]] [[Category:Danny Peary Cult Movies List]] [[Category:~~{{PAGENAME}}~~Film]]▼ [[Category:Films of the 1960s]] [[Category:~~The~~French ~~Criterion Collection~~Cinema]] [[Category:~~The~~Pages ~~Criterion~~with ~~Collection~~working ~~(LaserDisc)~~Wikipedia tabs]] [[Category:Roger Ebert Great Movies List]] [[Category:School Study Media]] ▲[[Category:{{PAGENAME}}]]
