Review of Breathless (2009) by Andy M — 01 Mar 2009

I feel like I should have something intelligent to say about this film. But I can't say anything about how influential or revolutionary this film was; I wasn't around when it first made (new) waves.

I can't say anything about the intent or the history behind; this was an impulse rent, since I have never seen a Godard film before. What I can say though, is this is one of the most aptly-named films of all time.

Without any sense of history, the film is brisk and vibrant enough to overtake any possible pretensions one might attach to an old French film. Watching this was just plain ... fun. Joyful... other nice words.

I want to watch it again.
