Breathless (1960)


Breathless (1960)
aka
À bout de souffle

Michel Poiccard, an irresponsible sociopath and small-time thief,
steals a car and impulsively murders the motorcycle policeman who
pursues him. Now wanted by the authorities, he renews his relationship
with Patricia Franchini, a hip American girl studying journalism at
the Sorbonne, whom he had met in Nice a few weeks earlier. Before
leaving Paris, he plans to collect a debt from an underworld acquaintance
and expects her to accompany him on his planned getaway to Italy.
Even with his face in the local papers and media, Poiccard seems
oblivious to the dragnet that is slowly closing around him as he
recklessly pursues his love of American movies and libidinous interest
in the beautiful American.
