Throwback: Breathless

Jean-Luc Godard, widely considered one of the best film directors of all time, passed away recently at the age of 91. We pay tribute to him and his legacy by throwing back to the movie that introduced him as the genius he went on to be hailed as, 1960's Breathless. In the movie, petty thief Michel (Jean-Paul Belmondo) impulsively kills a policeman while stealing a car. He hides in his girlfriend Patricia's (Jean Seberg) apartment while trying to get the money to escape the country, but she slowly starts questioning her loyalties. We review the film, and talk about its impact on the world of cinema.
