Breathless(1960)



This movie is 'iconic' to say the least. First 'French New Wave' film recognized by not only the critics but also the ignorant masses who thought it was 'cool' and 'edgy'. Jump shots, tracking shots, and the unorthodox positioning of shots albeit arbitrary at times was innovative. There is a profound 'beatnick' vibe to thick movie, the way the guy steals cars as a means of freedom and so forth. I also wish I could smoke anywhere at anytime like they did.
I feel like me and him are 'kindred spirits' and share similar 'existential' views on the world.
10.0 I could write a book on this film
