Richard Linklater (Blue Moon) recreates the making of Jean-Luc Godard’s seminal feature debut, penning a nostalgic love letter to the rebellious spirit of the French New Wave.
Cinephilia exudes from every frame of this delightful black-and-white homage, regaling how Breathless came to be.
From Godard’s collaboration with Truffaut and Chabrol on the script to the chaotic shoot that drew exasperation from Jean Seberg and producer Georges de Beauregard, an impeccable cast and Linklater’s mastery over the medium capture the revolutionary alchemy that forever changed cinema.
