Breathless (French: À bout de souffle; "out of breath") is a 1960 French film written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard about a wandering criminal (Jean-Paul Belmondo) and his American girlfriend (Jean Seberg). It was Godard's first feature-length work and represented Belmondo's breakthrough as an actor.
Breathless was one of the earliest, most influential examples of French New Wave (nouvelle vague) cinema. Together with François Truffaut's The 400 Blows and Alain Resnais's Hiroshima, Mon Amour, both released a year earlier, it brought international acclaim to this new style of French filmmaking. At the time, the film attracted much attention for its bold visual style, which included unconventional use of jump cuts.
A fully restored version of the film was released in the U.S. for its 50th anniversary in May 2010. When originally released in France, the film attracted a staggering total of over 2 million viewers.
Michel (Jean-Paul Belmondo) is a youthful criminal who is intrigued with the film persona of Humphrey Bogart. After stealing a car in Marseille, Michel shoots and kills a policeman who has followed him onto a country road. Penniless and on the run from the police, he turns to an American love interest Patricia (Jean Seberg), a student and aspiring journalist, who sells the New York Herald Tribune on the streets of Paris. The ambivalent Patricia unwittingly hides him in her apartment as he simultaneously tries to seduce her and call in a loan to fund their escape to Italy. At one point, Patricia says she is pregnant with Michel's child. She learns that Michel is on the run when questioned by the police. Eventually she betrays him, but before the police arrive she tells Michel what she has done. He is somewhat resigned to a life in prison, and does not try to escape at first. The police shoot him in the street and, after a prolonged death run, he dies “à bout de souffle” (out of breath).

You leave me breathless you've taken my sight from me.
You leave me begging down on my knees.
I've only witnessed what I thought an angel could be.
Please come closer its the only way I see.
How have I never seen a beauty like you before.
This dream is fake it can't be real.
I've had before and knew your feel.
But this is more than I can bear.
You make me weak it makes me scared.
Give me your hand I need your touch.
Just know its not too much.
All I can ask all I can do.
Is to have this night with you.
You left me speechless.
With your poise and grace.
You were the one.
My mind shuts down I leave this place.
I see you where I want to be.
We both are here there's no one else.
How long I'm gone I just can't tell.
My eyes open I'm back to life.
And you are gone flicker of light.
These are not dreams if I'm tortured.
I'd sleep for days in your arms.
You left me speechless.
With your poise and grace.
You were the one I knew it.
And from that moment I had embraced.
The fact that no girl.
Could make me feel the same.
I will always remember.
Our time that night.
This blue sky has me wishing for the night.
This night sky has me wishing for the light.
This breathless whisper has me tied.
