Breathless- The Restored Print

I am still buzzing from the last few nights of films at the Paramount. We watched The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, an absolute must see on the big screen to fully appreciate the music, colors and delicate contours of Catherine Deneuve's face. It was paired with the musical The Young Girls of Rochefort, more candy, colored, French cinema but this time with American song and dance man, Gene Kelly. Last night the treat was Breathless.

The fiftieth-anniversary restoration print also has revised subtitles. The Rialto website points out that this anniversary version is not available on DVD. Watching Breathless on the big screen for the first time was beyond dreamy and beyond sublime. The film was shown as it was intended and should be turning the Paramount into a church where we all gathered to worship Godard for all of 90 minutes.
