Summary: From case cover: There was before "Breathless", and there was after "Breathless". Jean-Luc Godard burst into the film scene in 1960 with this jazzy, free-form, and sexy homage to the American film genres that inspired him as a writer for "Cahiers du cinéma". WIth its lack of polish, surplus of attitude, anything goes crime narrative, and effervescent young stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, "Breatless" helped launch the Frech New Wave and ensured that cinema would never be the same.
