Jean-Luc Godard\u2019s classic Breathless<\/a><\/strong> is being re-released on DVD in a special 50th Anniversary edition<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Based on a sparse treatment by Fran\u00e7ois Truffaut and shot by Raoul Coutard, it became the iconic film of the French New Wave and established Godard as one of the key directors of his generation.<\/p>\n

The story of a small time criminal on the run (Jean-Paul Belmondo<\/a>) who hooks up in Paris with an American newspaper seller (Jean Seberg), it landed like a bombshell when it first opened, with\u00a0its loose narrative, location shooting, improvised dialogue and jump cuts.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>It gave French and European cinema a much needed shot of inspiration in 1960, with audiences and critics responding to its energy and artistic verve.<\/p>\n

The transfer for the DVD and Blu-ray looks excellent and the film still has a remarkable freshness and energy, despite the fact that it has been referenced<\/a> and parodied<\/a> down the years.<\/p>\n

The extras feature a generous selection of featurettes on the production and legacy of the film.<\/p>\n

Special Features on the DVD release include:<\/div>\n
