The three Jeans would make cinema history in 1960 with Jean-Luc Godard’s first film, Breathless starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg. Fifty years later its significance still stands as one of the key films to usher in the French New Wave. The movie excessively bleeds cool, from Seberg’s androgynous hair cut to Belmondo’s perpetual chain smoking – granted it would be different today. How many Belle and Sebastian covers were influence by Breathless and 60s French Cinema? All of them I would argue. This year marks the film’s 50th anniversary, and to celebrate, a 35mm restored version with freshly revised subtitles will be shown at Film Forum starting May 28th for two weeks.
