Sexy and unrestrained, the story unfolds in 1960s Paris. A small time crook, Michel Poiccard (Jean-Paul Belmondo) is chased by authorities after stealing a car. Caught up in the moment he shoots one of them dead before fleeing the scene. On the lam, he finds an American girlfriend and convinces her to travel to Italy with him and start a new life, but the police are never far behind. Jean-Luc Godard's stunning cinematic debut Breathless not only sparked the beginning of the French new wave, but is considered by many as one of the most influential films of all time.
