    Now joining the #TCMParty for some Wilder. 1960 was such a wild year for film: The Apartment, Psycho, Breathless, La Dolce Vita, Trou, Rocco and His Brothers, and much more. I saw The Apartment 4k restoration on the big screen a couple of years ago, the outdoor scenes are incredible. #FilmSky

    Breathless Mahoney, the “Dick Tracy” femme fatale who was played by Madonna in the 1990 movie, died in the strip 80 years ago, on August 26, 1946, after trying to run a scam on B.O. Plenty. (Though she is fondly recalled by fans, her time in the strip was fairly brief, first appearing in May 1945.)

    As president of the jury of the 1960 Berlin Film Festival, Harold Lloyd saw Bresson's Pickpocket, Kazan's Wild River, Shōhei Imamura's My Second Brother, and Godard's Breathless (which took Best Director). No great point to be made here, I just think it's interesting!

    #Edwards1000SixtiesMovies 22/1000: BREATHLESS This timeless crime-romance movie did not only launch Godard's career as a director; it helped usher in the highly influential French New Wave cinema as well. Belmondo is captivating in his breakthrough film role as an impulsive, wandering criminal.

    Before seeing Breathless, I heard the film's protagonist frequently described as "idolizing Humphrey Bogart", and was then surprised to watch the film and find out that what this amounts to is at one point he sees a picture of Bogart and says "Bogey", one time and then it never comes up again.

    Thankfully, Richard Linklater doesn’t try to ape “Breathless” with “Nouvelle Vague,” but instead imagines the type of hangout movie he might’ve made during the French New Wave. It may be slight, but it’s also incredibly fun. #Cannes2025 decider.com/2025/05/18/r...

    Released on this day in 1982: Jim McBride's brilliant remake of BREATHLESS. I wrote about it for @bwdr.bsky.social: “A misunderstood miracle, BREATHLESS is a hipgripped study of artifice that surpasses the original's thematic density like a sexy, fucksweat-slicked basic-cable Baudrillard.”

    "All you need to make a movie is a girl and a gun." Maybe Jean-Luc Godard wasn't the first to utter that maxim, but he took it to heart in shooting "Breathless" (1960). Its nervous, choppy editing, wry comments on post-war France, and on film itself, make it a landmark. #filmnoir
