Breathless (Movie) 50th Anniversary Restoration

From www.irvingtontheater.com:

Breathless by Jean-Luc Godard

50th Anniversary Restoration

Breathless helped launch the French New Wave. With its lack of polish, surplus of attitude, anything-goes crime narrative, and effervescent young stars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, Breathless ensured cinema would never be the same. Many great movies are classics. A few stand as landmarks. The merest handful—perhaps four or five in a century—deserve to be called revolutions Breathless belongs unequivocally in the final category.

synopsis:

Michel Poiccard, an irresponsible sociopath and small-time thief, steals a car and impulsively murders the motorcycle policeman who pursues him. Now wanted by the authorities, he renews his relationship with Patricia Franchini, a hip American girl studying journalism at the Sorbonne, whom he had met in Nice a few weeks earlier. Before leaving Paris, he plans to collect a debt from an underworld acquaintance and expects her to accompany him on his planned getaway to Italy. Even with his face in the local papers and media, Poiccard seems oblivious to the dragnet that is slowly closing around him as he recklessly pursues his love of American movies and libidinous interest in the beautiful American.

What critics are saying: 

Since its first screening in 1960, Jean-Luc Godard's astonishing debut has lost none of its power to thrill an audience or change the way we see the world.
