Breathless (1960)

After stealing a car and shooting a policeman to death, young French thug Jean-Paul Belmondo hides out in the apartment of his American girlfriend Jean Seberg. Despite his artifice and unappealing character, Seberg seems like she loves him, or at least thinks she could fall in love with him, but she doesn’t know him, doesn’t know what he’s capable of, or how he treats women. One small example: before hiding out with her, he visited another girlfriend and stole money from her purse after already borrowing money from her. Seberg is absolutely beautiful in this film though. She shines on screen and I’m definitely going to be adding more of her work to my List.
