Review of Breathless (2009) by Nelson M — 22 Jun 2012
Breathless is a groundbreaking film which broke all the rules and instated a while set of new ones on the art of being cool. Taking a tired and used genre, the gangster, and turned it up on it's head.
Godard began a red of snappy dialogue, quirky characters in the Hawksian tradition, this film serving more as a tribute to Scarface than anything else. Both our characters are fun and interesting, while giving us a hip, cool, and stylish film that, honestly, doesn't seem aged at bit since it hit the scenes in 1960.
Without Godard and Breathless, there may not be a Scorsese, Tarantino, Wes Anderson and then some, so be thankful such a great film exists.
