A Bout de Souffle (1960 Jean-Luc Godard)

That famous editing changed everything. But in the quieter revolution, Raoul Coutard's small camera, and fast film stock, meant they could film everything on location. The thing is - the Belmondo character is a real jerk - what does Seberg see in him? He plays it amusingly, convincingly, with the Bogart lip swipe (which she picks up at the end), but...

Cut to - someone selling Cahiers du Cinema on the Champs Elysee - ha ha. C'est amusante, n'est-ce pas? Jerky cut to three other people reviewing this, in different weathers.

Uh - that scene between them in the apartment seems to go on for ever.

Dedicated to Monogram pictures.  Martial Solal is the composer of the jazzy score. Cécile Decugis edited, without a care in the world. (As we all know, she didn't edit Truffaut's Tirez Sur le Pianiste the same year, as she was in prison.)

A day.
