Good film in which a car thief chases a girl he met in Las Vegas. In terms of story, it's not much and it starts off a bit messy. There is enough chemistry between the two leads and Richard Gere plays his role in a cool way. A nice soundtrack and enough beautiful scenes for a small 3.5 stars.

This is a great movie and a pleasant surprise. Gere acts well in this. Playful way of filming with beautiful 80's LA locations. Certainly a fresh film for that time, including comic book references and a strong swinging soundtrack. Haven't seen the original yet. That will follow soon.

Too long since I saw Godard's A Bout de Souffle. Besides the fact that I thought it was a good movie, I don't remember much about it.

So I was not bothered by comparisons with the 'original' and could freely enjoy this film, which is still fresh after 40 years.

Breathless is in the Humo top 100 of all time and in their review I read that this was one of the films that greatly influenced Quentin Tarantino. I can see that.

The tone is tongue-in-cheek and we don't have to take the rather conceited main character too seriously. Visually, the film is convincing at times and I didn't think the soundtrack was that fantastic, apart from that song by The Pretenders, but it is very present, just like Tarantino's.

Gere does very well as a self-satisfied loose cannon and Kaprisky, unknown to me, looks very sensual (although her acting is quite laughable at times).

Very nice video, I'm betting generously on 4*.
