Breathless, a low-budget film, came to be regarded as one of the
major accomplishments of the French New Wave cinema of the early
sixties. It had a tremendous influence on French filmmakers and on
world cinema in general. Beyond its significance in film history,
it was also a film of considerable cultural impact. In Breathless,
Jean-Luc Godard captured the spirit of a disillusioned generation
and fashioned a style, which drew on the past, to parade that
disillusionment. In his introduction, Dudley Andrew brilliantly
explains what Godard set out to accomplish in Breathless. He
illuminates the intertextual and cultural references of the film
and the tensions withiin it between tradition and innovation. This
volume also features, for the first time in English, the complete
and accurate continuity script of Breathless, together with
Francois Truffaut's surprisingly detailed original treatment. Also
included are an in-depth selection of reviews and criticism in
French and English; a brief biographical sketch of the director's
life that covers the development of his career, as well as a
filmography and selected bibliography. Dudley Andrew is a professor
of film studies and comparative literature at Yale University. He
is the author of Concepts in Film Theory, Andre Bazin, Flim in the
Aura of Art, and other books on film.
