Jesse (Richard Gere, American Gigolo), a restless and cocky common criminal with a penchant for fast cars, rock 'n roll music and comic books, finds himself obsessed with Monica (Valérie Kaprisky, La Femme Publique), a French exchange student at UCLA. On the run for car theft and the accidental slaying of a highway patrolman, Jesse finds himself on the streets of Los Angeles, passing time in swimming pools, making love with Monica and dodging the law that is closing in on him. A controversial remake of Jean-Luc Godard's iconic staple of the French New Wave, À bout de souffle (1960), BREATHLESS is a decidedly 80s updating of the tried-and-true merging of romance and crime, giving way to the S*x and violence expected from it's era. Directed by American iconoclast Jim McBride (David Holzman's Diary, The Big Easy), who co-wrote the script with L.M. Kit Carson (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2; Paris, Texas), BREATHLESS is a potent blast of pop-culture idolization, eschewing the gritty monochrome of it's source for a vibrant, colorful, Los Angeles, gorgeously captured by director of photography Richard H. Kline (Body Heat, The Fury). Cinématographe is proud to present Jim McBride's illustrious neo-noir in it's world UHD debut of a new 4K restoration from it's original camera negative. | Breathless | | 4K Blu-Ray | 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray | Best Buy
