Breathless Godard's dazzling debut set up the stall for the French new wave. Breathless is a footloose, free-wheeling dash through the doomed romance between Jean Seberg's newspaper vendor and Jean-Paul Belmondo's hoodlum, hot-wired with jump-cuts and homages and shot on the run, without a permit, on the sunny streets of Paris. Bande à Part Described by the director as "Alice in Wonderland meets Franz Kafka", this picaresque about three wannabe crooks remains the lightest, most purely playful of Godard's early films. Two set-pieces stand out: the record-breaking dash through the Louvre, and this classic dance sequence, replete with hand-claps, foot stamps and wry off-camera commentary.
