Breathless (1960 film)
Breathless (French: À bout de souffle; "out of breath") is a 1960 French crime and drama film written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard about a wandering criminal (Jean-Paul Belmondo) and his American girlfriend (Jean Seberg).
It was Godard's first feature-length work and represented Belmondo's breakthrough as an actor.
"Breathless" was one of the early, more influential examples of French New Wave ("nouvelle vague") cinema.
Along with François Truffaut's "The 400 Blows" and Alain Resnais's "Hiroshima, Mon Amour", both released a year earlier, it brought international attention to new styles of French filmmaking.
At the time, the film attracted much attention for its bold visual style, which included unconventional use of jump cuts.
The film was remaked to different languages with or without crediting the original.
In malayalam the unofficial remake was the Mayaanadhidirected by Ashiq Abu.
A fully restored version of the film was released in the U.S. for its 50th anniversary in May 2010.
When originally released in France, the film attracted over 2 million viewers.

Jean-Luc Godard
Jean-Luc Godard (born 3 December 1930) is a French-Swiss film director, screenwriter and film critic.
He rose to prominence as a pioneer of the 1960s
French New Wave film movement.
During his early career as a film critic, Godard criticized mainstream French cinema's "Tradition of Quality", which emphasized established convention over innovation and experimentation.
In response, he and like-minded critics began to make their own films.
Many of Godard's films challenge the conventions of traditional Hollywood in addition to French cinema.
In 1964, Godard described his and his colleagues' impact: "We barged into the cinema like cavemen into the Versailles of Louis XV."
He is often considered the most radical French filmmaker of the 1960s and 1970s; his approach in film conventions, politics and philosophies made him arguably the most influential director of the French New Wave.
Along with showing knowledge of film history through homages and references, several of his films expressed his political views; he was an avid reader of existential and Marxist philosophy.
Since the New Wave, his politics have been much less radical and his recent films are about representation and human conflict from a humanist, and a Marxist perspective.
In a 2002 "Sight & Sound" poll, Godard ranked third in the critics' top-ten directors of all time (which was put together by assembling the directors of the individual films for which the critics voted).
He is said to have "created one of the largest bodies of critical analysis of any filmmaker since the mid-twentieth century."
He and his work have been central to narrative theory and have "challenged both commercial narrative cinema norms and film criticism's vocabulary."
In 2010, Godard was awarded an Academy Honorary Award, but did not attend the award ceremony.
Godard's films have inspired many directors including Martin Scorsese, Quentin Tarantino, Brian De Palma, Steven Soderbergh, D. A. Pennebaker, Robert Altman, Jim Jarmusch, Wong Kar-wai, Wim Wenders, Bernardo Bertolucci, and Pier Paolo Pasolini.
From his father, he is the cousin of Pedro Pablo Kuczynski, former President of Peru.
He has been married twice, to actresses Anna Karina and Anne Wiazemsky, both of whom starred in several of his films.
His collaborations with Karina—which included such critically acclaimed films as "Vivre sa vie" (1962), "Bande à part" (1964) and "Pierrot le Fou" (
1965)—were called "arguably the most influential body of work in the history of cinema" by "Filmmaker" magazine.
