Films on the Green | Breathless (À bout de souffle)
Films on the Green Presents Breathless by Jean Luc Godard
July 17 | Belmont Harbor Park | 8:30 pm
(Belmont Harbor south parking lot & the AIDS Memorial Garden at Lake Shore Drive and Belmont Ave)
Join us for a chill evening at Belmont Harbor Park watching the classic French New Wave film Breathless (À bout de souffle).
Breathless
Directed by Jean-Luc Godard
Distributed by Rialto Pictures
With Jean-Paul Belmondo, Jean Seberg, Daniel Boulanger
1960, Crime Drama, 1h30, France

Film in French with English subtitles
With its raw energy, rule-breaking style, and anything-goes crime narrative, Breathless follows small-time crook Michel (Jean-Paul Belmondo) and his American girlfriend Patricia (Jean Seberg) as they drift through Paris while he tries to finance their escape to Italy—until loyalty, love, and danger collide.
Effortlessly cool and radically modern, the film’s jump cuts, improvised feel, and magnetic performances helped launch the French New Wave and ensured that cinema would never be the same.
Free and open to the public (no ticket needed) | Bring your own chair or blanket and join us at dusk!
