Spect.Viewers generally appreciate 'Breathless' for its groundbreaking approach and its embodiment of the French New Wave, praising its innovative editing, realistic yet poetic cinematography, and the charismatic performances by Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg. The film's lively dialogues and authentic portrayal of Paris add to its charm. However, some find the pacing slow and the plot somewhat repetitive, particularly in its focus on the protagonists' relationship dynamics.
👍 Innovative editing and charismatic performances.

Pierre angulaire de l'approche nouvelle vague. Interessant dans son contexte. Néanmoins difficile d'ignorer la misogynie latente, la médiocrité du personnage principal, et l'ennui pendant le film.
Plus facile à voir quand on a vu Nouvelle vague
Objectivement: 4/10 Subjectivement: 3/10
Revoir À bout de souffle dans l’Apple Vision Pro, un de mes films préférés, c’est redécouvrir la liberté pure du cinéma. Tout semble improvisé, volé à la rue, et pourtant chaque plan respire la pensée de Godard. Belmondo fume, drague, court, meurt — comme s’il inventait le cinéma moderne à chaque geste. Et Seberg, dans la lumière de Montparnasse, c’est Paris qui parle anglais. Un film qui n’a pas vieilli, parce qu’il ne voulait déjà pas plaire — juste vivre.
