A frenetic exploration of contemporary Marseille. The soundtrack, a hyperreal fiction, is paired with the languid footage of the city, creating a sensory overload that mirrors the city itself.

After writing for Cahiers du cinéma, a young Jean-Luc Godard decides making films is the best film criticism. He convinces producer Georges de Beauregard to fund a low-budget feature, and creates a treatment with fellow New Wave filmmaker François Truffaut about a gangster couple. The result? Breathless, one of the first features of the Nouvelle Vague era of French cinema.
