French film directed by Jean-Luc Godard. It was his first feature length work, and one of the earliest, most influential of the French New Wave.[1] At the time, the film attracted much attention for its bold visual style and the innovative use of jump cuts.
Breathless, together with François Truffaut's The 400 Blows and Alain Resnais's Hiroshima, Mon Amour, both released a year earlier, brought international acclaim to the French nouvelle vague.
