Product Description

Product Description

On the run after killing a cop, small-time crook Jesse Lujack (Richard Gere) teams up with Monica (Valerie Kaprisky), a French architectural student he encounters in Las Vegas. Tempting Monica with the offer of a trip to Mexico, Jesse takes her along for the ride, but it isn't long before his criminal activities catch up with them both. Jim McBride directs this remake of Jean-Luc Godard's 'A Bout de Souffle'.

From Amazon.co.uk

Breathless, Jim McBride's 1983 remake of Au Bout de Souffle rewrites Godard's existential hipster as a vain, style-obsessed hood and in the process loses some of the point. Godard's hero was a translation and productive misunderstanding of a quintessentially American sort of delinquent; because it is a retranslation, Gere's intelligent, nervy performance as Jesse Lujack suffers by comparison, however admirable it is taken in itself. McBride's direction strokes Gere's face and body lovingly--his every foxy smile, or glance at himself in a mirror, is played for passionate significance. This is also a good-looking film: the back alleys of LA and sunset over the Mojave desert have rarely looked as good. Valerie Kaprisky's Monica is inevitably given secondary importance; the decision to make the woman who goes along with Jesse's wild final ride on a whim an exchange student makes her at once more and less like her equivalent in the Godard--she has a touching exoticism that is at the same time somehow beside the point. The DVD includes the original theatrical trailer. --Roz Kaveney

5.0 out of 5 starsGere at his greatest!
By A Customer on 2 Mar. 2002
Format: VHS Tape
Although it seems to have a lot of negative feedback, Breathless remains my all time favourite film. The soundtrack (which I have tried desperately to find) and cinematic shots of Los Angeles alone make this film worth a watch. It's quite nostalgic and I tend to yearn for hot summer evenings now long past while watching it. This is Gere at his best for me. His cheeky 'bad boy' image in Breathless earns him the hearthrob status he deserves. I find myself hopelessy in love with lovable rogue Jesse Lujack and I am pleasantly surprised whenever Lujack mannerisms pop up in Gere's other movies!
I have watched this film countless times and it still hasn't lost its appeal for me. I'd say it's a must for Richard Gere fans who haven't yet seen it!

3.0 out of 5 starsWorth an enjoyable Laugh
By john strongman on 27 Jun. 2014
Format: DVD
Obviously atrocious, yet in its own way highly entertaining, remake of a seminal film. Richard Gere is clearly enjoying himself thoroughly hamming it up and Valerie Kaprisky, despite the laughable english accent and terrible script, looks like another Brigitte Bardot

1.0 out of 5 starsLaughably bad
By A Customer on 25 Dec. 2001
Format: VHS Tape
This American remake of Jean-Luc Godard's classic, A Bout de Souffe, is incredibly funny. Not because it is meant to be, but because it is so laughably bad. Godard's existential ramblings were perfect for the original and the film (Jean-Paul Belmondo especially) was effortlessly cool. However, apply the same existential ramblings to a conventionally-told American film and you have a story that goes nowhere and bores you in the process. Richard Gere is incredibly irritating as the hero, Jesse and Valaire Kaprisky is the eiptomy of bland. The film would have worked better as a basical love story, or perhaps if McBride hadn't tried to be quite as faithful to Godard's original, but sadly what is left over is a film that will please nobody. If you've never seen it before, it's really nothing special. If you've seen the original, you could always watch this afterwards for pure comedy value.
