Step into the electric world of Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless (1960), a film that shattered cinematic rules and rewrote what cool could look like on screen. Follow the reckless Michel, a charming small-time criminal running from the law, and Patricia, an American aspiring journalist caught between desire and doubt, as they drift through Paris with cigarettes, philosophy, and danger in the air. Raw, restless, and irresistibly stylish, Breathless remains a landmark of the French New Wave — a film that pulses with improvisation, jump cuts, and the thrill of living one step ahead of consequences. Join us for a free screening and experience a classic that still feels bold, rebellious, and startlingly alive.
