Review of Breathless (2009) by Brian S — 27 Apr 2009
France, 1959. This film really is a MUST see. Period.
BREATHLESS, Jean-Luc Godard's very first feature "remains the most realistic, most whole, and strongest narrative of [his] films," Gerald Mast.
A brazen film, stylistically. Very free form and rich with charm, despite the despicable choices of its characters.
Some really tender, surprising moments, caught and augmented with brilliant force.
"The primary strength ... is the director's continuing ability to catch flashing, elusive moments of passion, joy or pain with the most surprising and unconventional narrative techniques," Mast.
