Advantages: Belmondo's cool style

Disadvantages: Annoying editing

A Bout de Souffle is a stunningly subtle movie that works because the characters are so convincing. Jean Paul Belmondo is so cool and charismatic as Michel that you like even though he is a liar, thief and murderer. Some of the framing for the movie is dodgy, and so is the editing, but what makes this film work is the excellent love story and the funny one-liners. Don't be put off if you have seen the Richard Gere remake, this knocks that one for six! Godard has never made a better film and neither has Belmondo. I was fortunate to see this film this very evening at my Uni cinema, and the images are still fresh in my memory. A cinematic masterpiece.
