Review of Breathless (2009) by Dan S — 14 Apr 2011
A well-paced, fantastically detailed character study of a small-time crook (Jean-Paul Belmondo) who gets in to deep once he kills a policeman on a country road, which forces him to take refuge with his girlfriend who is an aspiring journalist.
This is without question a perfect film, once that remains entirely interesting despite possessing a somewhat slow pace. It is a slightly better film that "The 400 Blows", another film credited with starting the French New Wave era in film, due to is ability to become energetic at certain parts of the story, especially at the coda.
Definitely one of the better foreign films that I have seen, and one that should be seen by anyone who loves movies of any kind.
