Review of Breathless (1983) by Emmanuel H — 25 Feb 2009
"I don't know if I am unhappy because I am not free or I am not free because I am not happy." -Patricia.
I adore the flirtatious bedroom chat between Patricia and Michel. This makes the film for me. I love it when he tells her that he wants to sleep with her because of 'that gleam' in her eyes. There were some humourous moments in their dialogue. I am also in love with Jean Seberg's voice! She speaks both languages beautifully. I've always had an affinity for Bonnie & Clyde-esque themes and Godard is brilliant, of course. The end left me a little cold, however. I wasn't expecting that!
