The Film Journal...Passionate and informed film criticism from an auteurist perspective. Melville himself was a significant role model for the French New Wave critics-turned-directors - hence his cameo appearance (in his characteristic Stetson and Ray-Bans) as the writer Parvulesco in Jean-Luc Godard's À Bout de Souffle (Breathless, 1959). In this vein Le Doulos was followed by Le Deuxième Souffle (1966); Le Samouraï (1967), Melville's quintessential film and his masterpiece; Le Cercle Rouge (1970) ; and the less successful Un Flic (1972), Melville's final film. With Le Doulos on the other hand, Melville adapted a 1957 French crime novel of the same name by Pierre Lesou; and while it was grounded in a recognisable French reality, Melville proceeded to layer on to the film the influences of his much-loved American cinema, in particular that of American film noir. www.thefilmjournal.com /issue10/ledoulos.html   (1201 words)

Meetings With Remarkable Men - Music from the Movies A Bout De Souffle / L'Affaire D'Une Nuit / Le Proces / Les Ennemis/ Énchappement Libre One of the many people impressed by personal meetings with Gurdjieff was composer Thomas de Hartmann who became the great man's pupil even though Gurdjieff knew little about music. For the film's score, Laurence Rosenthal turned to Thomas de Hartmann's music, mostly for the piano and then orchestrated and adapted it to fit the film. www.musicfromthemovies.com /review.asp?ID=1415   (1152 words)

ipedia.com: Cinema of France Article Some of the first movies of this new genre was Truffaut's The 400 Blows (Les Quatre Cent Coups, 1959) starring Jean-Pierre Léaud and Godard's Breathless (À bout de souffle, 1960), starring Jean-Paul Belmondo. Auguste and Louis Lumière invented the cinématographe and their screening of L'Arrivée d'un train en gare de la Ciotat in Paris in 1895 is marked by many historians as the official birth of cinema. Movies which followed in its wake included Betty Blue (37°2 le matin, 1986) by Beineix, The Big Blue (Le Grand bleu, 1988) by Luc Besson and The Lovers on the Bridge (Les Amants du Pont-Neuf, 1991) by Leos Carax. www.ipedia.com /cinema_of_france.html   (839 words)

Jean_Luc_Godard LANGUAGE SCHOOL EXPLORER His first major feature film, A bout de souffle (1960), starring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg, was a seminal work of the New Wave. As he continued to work for Cahiers, he made Une femme coquette (1956), a ten-minute black and white picture, Tous les garçons s'appellent Patrick (1957), another short fiction piece, and Une histoire d'eau (1958), which was created largely out of footage shot by Truffaut that had gone unused. Alphaville was a futuristic blend of science fiction, detective, and satire filmmaking. www.school-explorer.com /info/Jean_Luc_Godard   (3209 words)

Movies of France - French Film, Cinema Two friends of Chabrol's, also film critics, followed him into film-making the following year — Jean-Luc Godard, with À Bout de souffle, reminiscent of American gangster films in its treatment of a French criminal; and François Truffaut, with Les Quatre cent coups, about a schoolboy in trouble. Attention must be paid to Jacques Tati, a great clown; Henri-Georges Clouzot, an exponent of pitiless naturalism in La Salaire de la peur (1953); and Robert Bresson, whose Le Journal d'un curé de campagne (1951) is considered a film classic. Other new wave directors include Alain Resnais ( Hiroshima, mon amour, 1959), Agnès Varda ( Cléo de 5 à 7, 1962), and Louis Malle ( Vie privée, 1961). www.discoverfrance.net /France/Movies/mov_index.shtml   (1250 words)

Jean-Pierre Melville - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia His independence and his "reporting" style of film-making (he was one of the first French directors to use real locations) were a major influence on the French New Wave film movement, and he appears as a minor character in Jean-Luc Godard's seminal New Wave film À bout de souffle. Becoming an independant film-maker, owning his own studios, he became famous for his tragic, minimalist films noirs, such as Le Samouraï or Le Cercle rouge, starring some major, charismatic actors like Alain Delon, probabably the definitive 'melvillian' actor, Jean-Paul Belmondo or Lino Ventura. Without this support, he decided to direct his movies by his own means. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Jean-Pierre_Melville   (291 words)

Light Sleeper - Late Night Writings On Cinema It is fitting that he should appear in “A Bout de Souffle” as The Man From the States, the incisive commentator, the onlooker with dark glasses and enigmatic quips, the spiritual uncle of the loveless lovers for whom love is conditional on casuistry. His first film was called “Le Silence de la Mer” and the film-behind-this-film might be called “Le silence de Jean-Pierre”. Critics have not, give his avowal of agnosticism, and cheerful declaration of a desire for a popular success, condemned him as “Leon Morin, Traitre.” I think they’re right, as it happens; the theological arguments which Morin advances are more likely to strengthen the question marks in Catholic minds than to impress non-believers. www.lightsleepercinemag.com /reviews/jeanpierremelville.php   (1615 words)

Jean-Luc Godard: A Short Bibliography of Materials in the UC Berkeley Libraries Although some parallels can be drawn between Jean-Luc Godard's film Breathless (A Bout de souffle) and Yves Klein's contemporaneous work Leap into the Void, Klein's artistic gesture opened up a new space incorporating time, action, and concept, thus crossing paths with the cinematic modernity that Godard, at that time, had adopted only ambivalently.

dOc DVD Review: The Little Soldier (Le Petit soldat) (1963) Le Petit Soldat carries over the cinema verite styling of À bout de souffle, but its structure is much more refined and polished, though the story itself has a distinct lack of direction, which consciously or not, relays its character's own sense of self examination, never knowing quite where its headed until it arrives. After the smash success of his first feature film, À bout de souffle (Breathless), director Jean-Luc Godard turned to a more topical, and controversial subject at the time, setting his follow-up, Le Petit Soldad (The Little Soldier) amid the political turmoil of Algeria's fight for independence from France. Le Petit Soldat makes a fine addition for Godard fans, but general audiences may find it trying their patience in parts, and the film's refusal to commit to an ideology may prove confusing and frustrating. www.digitallyobsessed.com /showreview.php3?ID=2774   (1182 words)

Steve Nottingham: The French New Wave Godard's A Bout de Souffle set the tone for La Nouvelle Vague, by telling a simple story about a relationship in a convention-challenging style with numerous references to previous cinema. Their films incorporated elements of American genres, for example, film noir in A Bout de Souffle, the gangster movie in Tirez le Pianiste and the thriller and the musical in Godard's Bande á Part (1964). The Nouvelle Vague film-makers, being critics, were very knowledgeable about cinema. ourworld.compuserve.com /homepages/Stephen_Nottingham/cintxt2.htm   (1843 words)

MSN Encarta - Jean-Paul Belmondo However, it was the work of both Godard and Belmondo in A Bout de Souffle that came to epitomize the romantic irreverence of the nouvelle vague: Godard's jarring camera work emphasized Belmondo's performance as a coolly detached and unpredictable gangster. Belmondo subsequently acted in several other films, including the farcical action movie L'Homme de Rio ( That Man from Rio, 1964) and, with Godard directing again, the celebrated Pierrot le Fou ( Pierrot the Fool, 1965), in which Belmondo shifts his character from dry humor to suicidal despair. Throughout his career, Belmondo has employed a versatile acting technique enabling him to play a variety of parts, performing both comic and tragic roles with a mixture of cynicism and sincerity, strength and frailty. encarta.msn.com /encyclopedia_761582013/Belmondo_Jean-Paul.html   (131 words)

A double tour / Twist / Web of Passion / Claude Chabrol / 1959 / Film review Belmondo gives an impressive – and typically unrestrained – performance, in what was to be his first major screen role (although it was not until his next film, Godard’s À bout de souffle, that he became widely recognised by the public and film-makers). Jean-Paul Belmondo was given the part of the Hungarian fiancé Laszlo Kovacs when Jean-Claude Brialy fell ill and had to pull out at the last minute. His wife, the redoubtable Thérèse Marcoux, is determined to avoid a scandal at any price, even to the extent of breaking off her daughter’s engagement when she learns that her future son-in-law Laszlo has been sympathising with her husband. frenchfilms.topcities.com /nf_A_double_tour_rev.html   (391 words)
