One of cinema’s greatest ironies lives in the title of Jean-Luc Godard’s legendary Breathless. Bold, low-budget, and shocking for its time, the film was less about losing breath but rather about taking a new, daring one. This formally innovative film helped infuse life into the French New Wave and became one of the key milestones of the 1960s film revolution. What were the circumstances of its creation? And how did the actual shooting unfold? This year, American director Richard Linklater brought to Cannes his widely accessible narrative film about filmmaking, infused with Godard’s charming contempt for rules, the beauty of Jeanne Seberg, and the unique energy of Jean-Paul Belmondo.
