À bout de souffle (1960)


Chic and cool! French New Wave at its best. You really feel like you are watching a magical time in cinema history with this one.

It took me a little bit of time to get the jump cuts and the dedication to long dialogue scenes. But when I stopped expecting this film to run to a specific formula I started to enjoy it. Although, I think I liked the stylisation more than anything which felt rather hip and fashionable.
