Poster for the film *À bout de souffle* (1960), one of the seminal works of the French New Wave, directed by Jean-Luc Godard and starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg. The image captures the essence of a film that revolutionized the cinematic language of its time through innovative staging, the use of handheld cameras, free-form editing, and a new way of understanding narrative. The story follows Michel Poiccard (Belmondo), a young delinquent on the run through Paris after killing a police officer, and Patricia Franchini (Seberg), an American student who sells copies of the New York Herald Tribune on the Champs-Élysées and with whom he has a relationship marked by ambiguity and personal freedom.
Presented at the 1960 Berlin International Film Festival, the film won the Silver Bear for Best Director for Jean-Luc Godard and became an essential landmark of modern cinema. Over time, *Breathless* has been recognized as a masterpiece.
