It's a bit cloudy here in NYC today. The perfect day to curl up on the sofa (who needs to work?!), and watch Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless. Starring the wickedly handsome Jean-Paul Belmondo (trouble with a capital T), and the stunning Jean Seberg, this classic film is about a charming young thief on the run in Paris, who tries to seduce his young American girlfriend (Seberg) into escaping with him.
The plot is a bit loose, but to me the characters are the real draw here -- especially the acting and chemistry between Belmondo and Seberg, which is very real and natural in a way that hadn't been seen before. Sexy, stylish + completely groundbreaking in it's non-narrative structure, I highly recommend adding this film to your collection. Buy: Criterion
P.S. -- For some style inspiration, check out Beauty Icon: Jean Seberg
