Today’s song of the day come from the Georges Delerue-composed score of Jean-Luc Godard’s 1963 film, Le Mepris. If this song sounds familiar but you haven’t seen Le Mepris, you may have heard it in Martin Scorsese’s Casino.

Scenes That I Love: The Ending of Breathless
Today would have been the 92nd birthday of international screen icon, Jean-Paul Belmondo.
Belmondo spent the majority of his career in France, where he was one of the early faces of the New Wave and also a prominent action star, famed for doing his own very dangerous stunts. In America, he was best-known for his starring turn in Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless. In Breathless, Belmondo was the perfect existential outlaw, living life day-by-day and obviously doomed but still so incredibly magnetic and stylish.
In tribute to Belmondo, today’s scene that I love is the final moments of Breathless, with Belmondo and Jean Seberg.
