Following the recent release of Richard Linklater’s film Nouvelle Vague, which dramatises the production of Jean-Luc Godard’s classic Breathless, it’s the perfect time to discover - or re-discover - the 1960 original. Godard’s debut is one of the seminal films of the French New Wave, and has influenced generations of filmmakers since. Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg star in the story of a young car thief who kills a policeman and tries to persuade a girl to hide in Italy with him. This is an opportunity to see it on the big screen!
