Jean-Luc and Anna
It’s probably not great shock to anyone that my favorite scene from a Jean-Luc Godard film would involve dancing.

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.
