Released in 1960, Breathless announced the arrival of a filmmaker who has spent the intervening decades striving to redefine and reshape the medium. Spanning Jean-Luc Godard’s astonishingly prolific first decade, the films in the IFI@Home selection trace the director’s path from the rule-breaking energy of that iconic debut to the increasingly radical, self-reflexive experiments that would come to define his later work. The presence of Anna Karina, his Danish muse – and, for over four years, his wife – looms large throughout.
Enjoy these four titles on IFI@Home, to accompany our in-cinema season.
