• Breathless Is Back

    Breathless returns to the big screen this spring. Fifty years after the film’s release in France, Rialto Pictures has acquired the U.S. rights to a new 35 mm print of Jean-Luc Godard’s New Wave groundbreaker, which showed at this year’s Berlin International Film Festival. Rialto will premiere the theatrical rerelease of Breathless at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Los Angeles in late April; in May, the film will open at New York’s Film Forum, followed by a national rollout. Rialto founder Bruce Goldstein said in a statement, “It’s not only one of the most important films of the last half century, still inspiring new generations of moviemakers, but it’s just as fun and audacious as it was fifty years ago.” Newly revised English subtitles will be supplied by Lenny Borger.

    Does this mean a Blu-Ray is forthcoming?

    I'll actually be pretty pissed if a blu-ray comes out. I'm tired of buying Criterion dvds only to see the blu ray release a few months after my purchase.

    I don't care where this is showing, if it doesn't come to Memphis, I will drive to see it. I consider this like one of my favorite bands playing a show. Absolutely the best news I have heard all week.

    Will see it in the theatre and then buy it the first day on Blu-Ray. I sure hope Bicycle Thieves won't be far behind.

    What is not mentioned about the premiere at Grauman's is that it is part of the TCM Classic Film Festival, April 22-25 (schedule is forthcoming). Jean-Paul Belmondo will be in attendance for the screening.

    Thanks for posting that Scott. I checked into it... passes start around a few hundred dollars. Doesn't look likely to see Breathless by itself.

    Like the newly restored METROPOLIS, this film is only playing in a few cities. I am tempted to drive to Denver to see it. Here is a list of theaters and dates from the Rialto website: http://www.rialtopictures.com/breathless.html Cheers!
