Breathless
Jean Luc Godard
French New Wave/drama
1960
Jean Luc Godard's "Breathless" was a very interesting film. It fits nicely into the period described as "French New Wave" because it deals with a youthful character defying the norms and expectations of his culture. Much like Trouffaut's "400 Blows" the film is centered around the idea of an outcast who tries to escape what he views as an imprisoning society, but ultimately fails. I enjoyed this film a lot. It gives off a certain feeling of a youthful resentment to "ordered society".
