Breathless ( À Bout de souffle )

Flashy crime film about a thief (Belmondo) and his lover (Seberg). And that's really it. A series of vignettes for most of the story. The nicest thing about this movie is that it showcases all the strengths Belmondo displayed which made him an international star in later hits like Cartouche and That Man from Rio. He's adept at playing tough but thoughtful protagonists with a grey moral compass. The film is noteworthy because of its then revolutionary editing using rapid cuts. It's more distracting today.
