Breathless
Directed by: Jean-Luc Godard
Criterion
Jean-Luc Godard helped usher in the nouvelle vague with this film about a young man’s passions of crime, romance and pop culture. In 1960, Godard’s self-aware style was completely radical. Today, Breathless remains a key piece of film history. Criterion presents it in its most comprehensive DVD release yet.
