We have quoted French film director Jean-Luc Godard so many times that assuredly it seems like a cliche.
But, his most famous film "Breathless" is celebrating its 50th anniversary (alas, the film's female lead Jean Seberg died at age 40 from a drug overdose in the 1970s) and my friend Jason Garnett is showing Godard's musical (?!) "A Woman is a Woman" two weeks from today at The Shadowbox Cinema in Roanoke, Va. "Breathless" was the subject of a cover story in the most recent edition of "Film Comment" magazine.
Plus, France is in the World Cup and we are quoting 32 people from each of the 32 countries involved (wait 'til you see who we chose for Honduras?!). On Friday, Team France tied Uruguay 1-1.
Here is the quip from the master who will 80 on Dec. 3:
"I don't think you should feel about a film. You should feel about a woman, but not a movie. You can't kiss a movie."
