About this listen

There had to be a French entry in our month of costume/fashion in movies, so this week we look at Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless.  Emblematic of the Nouvelle Vague, Breathless subverts many filmmaking standards of the time, and lists no costume designer, with the actors perhaps having chosen parts of their wardrobes themselves.
