I've seen Breathless. Other than a young beautiful Jean Seberg, meh.... Honestly I had no idea Godard was still alive.

Every French director of that era did so well in getting that little bit better exposure of the form fatal. How many ‘art house’ cinemas did they support over here with those prurient (but now tame) moments?

In this case, I refer to that double ‘B’, Brigit Bardot, sex kitten extraordinaire in “Le Mepris” (1963) [with Jack Palance]. Ah, the dreams of my youth!

Godard est mort. Quel domage.

Perhaps I will think of him this weekend while sitting in traffic.

I really like French New Wave cinema. Goddard and the others may not have been to everyone’s taste, but I went through a big phase of European cinema.

His first film, a short, 20 minutes, is on YouTube.

Before Marxist crap kept increasing in his work.

A while ago I tried to watch Breathless only because of Jean Seberg.   I was not impressed at all and I don't believe I watched the ending.

I would have said, Rest in Peace Jean-Luc Godard, but that doesn't seem possible or likely.

Godard died on 13 September 2022 at his home in Rolle, Switzerland, following an assisted suicide procedure.
/sigh

If you can, try to find the late, great critic John Simon’s reviews of his films. They brilliantly summarized everything wrong in his films. He saw right thru them, and him.
