This February 15, put Valentine’s Day behind you and come celebrate sixty-five years of Jean-Luc Godard's anti-romance Breathless, projected in all its tragic glory on the Senate’s big screen!
A perennial pick for “best films of all time” lists Godard’s debut feature stands as a prime example of the French New Wave film movement. Set in Paris, it tells the story of a two-bit, Humphrey Bogart obsessed criminal as he attempts to escape the law, hiding out with his naive American girlfriend while trying to look as cool as possible. In defiance of convention this 1960s art-house classic instead favors bold stylistic experimentation. With a then innovative use of jump-cuts, juxtaposed with documentary-style natural lighting and a hand-held camera, Breathless simultaneously blurs and calls attention to the line between art and reality.
Come see why we’re still talking about it!
The Senate Theater and The Detroit Theater Organ Society is supported by The Michigan Arts and Culture Council and The National Endowment for the Arts.
