Breathless (1960)

One of the classics of French New Wave Cinema, this is the first film directed by Jean-Luc Godard. It is all style and imagery with a very bare-bones plot.

A petty criminal (Jean-Paul Belmondo) kills a policeman during a joy ride in a stolen car. He goes back to Paris and hides out with an American girlfriend (Jean Seberg) until he can get some money owed to him. He plans on going to Italy and hopes the girlfriend will come along with him.
