 | MOVIE #1,852 • 🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿🍿 • 07.26.24 This is the third Godard feature but it came out second, and I absolutely loved it. It’s the kind of film that if you described it to me, I’d probably say no thanks. But this just works. It’s so playful and fresh, inventive and funny, endlessly endearing. Godard shatters the fourth wall and offers some sly, meta commentary, though the movie still functions at face value as a romcom with musical elements. Around every corner there’s another innovation/gag — some hit harder than others, but they all feel new, even 65 years later. These register as proto-Zucker Brothers or Diet Zucker bits… |
And this is definitely about something bigger than what the characters are seemingly talking about…
Breathless didn’t connect with me in the way I thought, but after this entry, I’m hooked and can’t wait to watch more Godard.
