History

PlotAfter 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.

Pierre Rissient (Benjamin Clery) gets the thankless job of assisting, but nowhere near as thankless as that of the poor continuity woman who is constantly beating her head against his wall of fluid creativity. Finally, wartime photographer Coutard (Matthieu Penchinat) is drafted in to try to capture the fragments of genius that drop, often well disguised, from their master’s erratically conceptual approach to film-making.
