Breathless by Jean-Luc Godard (1960) is a film that helped launch the French New Wave of cinema history. The New Wave aimed to break European conventions howver it lacked artistic techniques. The techniques used in the Wave were location shooting, improvised dialogue, and a loose narrative form.
Breathless gained publicity due to its new editing style typical of the French New wave that broke many conventions with use of these techniques as well as jump-cuts. Jean-Luc Godard deliberately mismatches scenes and cuts he also makes many references to the cinema, art, and music of history.
