Breathless

With its revolutionary cinematic techniques and youthful energy, Breathless has influenced just about every significant filmmaker since it was made. Its archetypal story of a car thief on the run, and the young woman caught up in his outlaw lifestyle, is fueled by the onscreen presence of the two endlessly charismatic leads, Jean-Paul Belmondo—in the role that made him a major figure in the French New Wave—and American actress Jean Seberg.

Richard Brody, The New Yorker

This film is part of the Retro Revival series.
