Nina and Co Vintage Film Night: A bout de Souffle (1960)
April 16, 2025 @ 7:30 PM
Breathless (1960) is an influential example of French New Wave (nouvelle vague) cinema. It attracted attention for its bold visual style. "A youthful, dangerous criminal who models himself on the film persona of Humphrey Bogart steals a car in Marseille then shoots and kills a policeman. Penniless and on the run, he turns to Patricia, a student and aspiring journalist, who sells the New York Herald on the boulevards of Paris."
During the first half of 2025, at the Ludlow Assembly Rooms, Nina & Co will present six classic films whose quality and content still inspire and speak to us today. Chosen primarily for the strength of their art – visual, musical and dramatic, the visual qualities are key, in costume. production design, cinematography and setting, from Britain, Europe and America.
