Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless has had a 4K restoration

In celebration of the film’s 60th anniversary, Breathless (À bout de souffle) has been stunningly restored.

Based on a story by François Truffaut and photographed by New Wave legend Raoul Coutard, Jean-Luc Godard’s jazzy riff on Film Noir features iconic performances from Jean-Paul Belmondo as an on-the-run criminal modelling himself on Bogart, and Jean Seberg as his NY Herald Tribune-hawking American student girlfriend, who ultimately betrays him. With a pace that’s non-stop, BREATHLESS reinvented the grammar of movies and almost instantly changed the course of international filmmaking. Celebrate where it all began with.

Check out the trailer below.

Available on 4K UHD Collector’s edition with 12” vinyl soundtrack, DVD, Blu-ray and digital November 9th.
