I have chosen to show Jean-Luc Godard's 1960 French New Wave film "Breathless" ("A Bout de Souffle") at the next installment of TMN. It is a highly influential movie made at the very beginning of the New Wave, as it was written and filmed in a way that was considered very unconventional and avant-garde at the time. It is noted for its use of jump cuts hand-held camera work, and natural lighting, devices that were not considered proper cinema techniques at the time, but have since been adopted by many different directors.
Let's check it out at Springer's place. Pizza will be provided, as will Dawson's.

Are those people walking in the middle of the street? That's not smart. See you Thursday.
ReplyDeleteMan, I thought Richard Gere was in this. Do I gotta read words to understand what they're sayin'? If I wanted to read words then I would have up and joined one of them book clubs.
ReplyDeletePS I'll be there.
ReplyDeleteI'll be there! At first I was confused (and hungry) because all I could focus on was "Souffle" which I now realize is different from "Soufflé." :)
