Breathless (1983)(Director Jim McBride In Person)

Writer-Director Jim McBride will join us IN PERSON, schedule permitting, for a Q&A following Breathless on Monday, July 25th.

He’s the last man on earth any woman needs… and every woman wants. Inspired by Jean-Luc Godard’s classic, director Jim McBride channels the French New Wave’s pastiche of Hollywood crime films through ‘80s art design, Silver Surfer comic books, and Richard Gere’s undeniable sex appeal. In a stolen car and on the run, Jesse Lujack (Gere) heads to Los Angeles to connect with a French undergrad (Valérie Kaprisky) with whom he’s had a previous fling. But as their spark reignites, the cops circle ever closer.
