The story of Jean-Luc Godard making Breathless, told by American director Richard Linklater in the form and spirit of the times. Styled as a mischievous declaration of love for the 1959 cult film, but also for a pivotal period of cinema that Linklater nostalgically revisits right down to techniques characteristic of the era.

More than the portrait of a man and his art, the film evokes a prolific period in film, symbolised by freedom of voice, improvisation, and an attachment to everyday poetry. “It’s the story of a personal revolution of cinema led by a man, and by everyone around him”, the filmmaker told the French magazine Les Inrockuptibles.
