fr C’est un des films qui l’a révélé au grand public avec la Nouvelle vague, en 1960. Jean-Paul Belmondo y incarne un fugitif recherché pour le meurtre d’un policier. Un film toujours culte où il donne la réplique à la jolie Jean Seberg. - Elle
en Godard began his career as a critic, his vast knowledge of films allowed him to remake the classic Hollywood style and to use references to American cinema which provided an elaborate intertextuality. Godard did not hesitate to display his influences. The film is dedicated to the American producers of series B gangsters (low budget commercial films). Its biggest reference is of Humphrey Bogart. Throughout the film’s entirety, Belmondo raises his finger to his lips and this tic pays homage to detective films, made famous by Humphrey Bogart in The Maltese Falcon. This obvious reference satirises Hollywood and brings an air of comedy.
nl Een deukhoed, glimmende, snelle auto's, coole zonnebrillen, mooie kostuums. Lange sequenties, in de hand gehouden camera, jump cuts, improvisaties, jazz en Mozart op de soundtrack. De inmiddels ingeburgerde jump cuts en nonchalante camerabewegingen waren toen baanbrekend.
