Where to Watch Breathless
- cultfilmlikerApril 8, 2025“Do you think about death? I do. All the time.” “What’s ‘bonkers?’” “That’s me.” The handheld indie camerawork is lovely and seeing all the extras gawk at the crew is hilarious. Loved the editing especially regarding the dialogue-heavy scenes. Either inspired Noé or is just French lol The music is great and hits all the beats perfectly. Keeps it upbeat too! Often! Funniest earnest high-five in cinema Watched via Criterion Channel free week
