BSA 206 Breathless

Breathless
Jean-Luc Godard

Breathless is a French 'New Wave' film by director Jean-Luc Godard. The film was old fashioned but easy to watch, following like-able characters. The film had moments of humor but also some moments of tension. Otherwise there were some dated dialogue, cringe worthy for some of us.

The film used various techniques from French New Wave film. Including on location shooting using portable equipment, little known actors. The plot built around chance event and it ended with an open ended narrative. It used natural lighting and unrehearsed scenes
