Listen "Rewatching Breathless Changed Everything"
Episode Synopsis
Sometimes one movie unlocks another.After watching Richard Linklater’s new film about the French New Wave, I went back to Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless — and suddenly everything clicked. Knowing how it was made, the last-minute dialogue, the unconventional editing, and the bold jump cuts completely changed the experience for me.In this video, I talk about:• Why rewatching Breathless with context hits differently• The abrupt cuts and the famous mirror shot• Godard’s natural, improvisational filmmaking approach• What might really motivate Patricia at the end• Why some “canon” films work for us and some don’t• How films gain meaning through the stories behind themLet me know what you think: Did Godard use this style throughout his career? What stands out most to you in Breathless?Maybe let's go at this one and then we'll put up three titles and then leave it at that. Remember time is money. So give me the three thumbnails or the three totals titles.#Breathless #Godard #FrenchNewWave #FilmAnalysis #MovieReview #CinemaHistory #RichardLinklater #TDRFilmAnalysis
