À bout de souffle aka Breathless by Jean-Luc Godard

✅ After watching Linklater’s Nouvelle Vague (twice by now), it becomes even more enjoyable.

✅ As Sarris once said, jump cuts represent “the meaninglessness of the time interval between moral decisions.”

✅ In this contest of unalike amoral dispositions, detached dissection defeats impulsive violence.

As a teenager, I watched every Bogart movie I could catch as often as I could, and I do understand the fascination.

À bout de souffle aka Breathless by Jean-Luc Godard, 1960.
