Breathless (dir. Jean-Luc Godard, 1960)

Such a bold and inventive style. Godard's use of jump-cuts really stands out with this film in my opinion, especially with how he uses them in dialogue scenes. It makes me feel like I'm cutting through bits and pieces of the conversation, much more from a point of observation than immersion. The character of Michel too brings a lot of personality into the film with how he expresses his passions and distastes, you can tell that he cares about what he observes despite his delinquency. The most memorable scene to me is the one with Michel in Patricia's apartment. There's a really nice sense of intimate laziness in how they lie in bed crossed over each other as Michel caresses Patricia while they talk and smoke a cigarette. The fact that the scene goes on for so long too makes it feel like you're really with these characters in this one moment. Godard could have easily cut down the dialogue or the more repetitive parts of the scene but the choice to show it's whole entirety sells Michel and Patricia's relationship precisely because of that intimate laziness mentioned before.  Overall it's very charming and feels fresh with how bold Godard is with his shot and editing choices.
