Breathless

The epitome of cinematic cool which inspired a generation of filmmakers from Quentin Tarantino and Tony Scott to Lars Von Trier and Terrence Malick, Breathless features iconic performances from Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg as one of the central, most delightful and insolent couple in cinema history.

The screening on 7 January will be accompanied by a introduction and post-screening Q&A with writer Joanna Walsh.
