New Wave Radiance: “Breathless” in Mid-Century Modern Reverie

Let the restless spirit of Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless enliven your walls with this mid-century modern poster—a work that translates French New Wave cool into bold geometry and minimalist sophistication. Balancing spontaneity with curated design, its vintage-inspired palette and clean shapes evoke both the era’s revolutionary cinema and the timeless art of storytelling. Perfect for those who embrace nostalgia with a contemporary twist.

Released in 1960, Breathless (À bout de souffle) is a milestone of cinematic rebellion. Directed by Godard and starring Jean-Paul Belmondo as Michel Poiccard and Jean Seberg as Patricia, the story follows a young criminal on the run after a deadly encounter with police. Pursued by the law, Michel and Patricia’s combustible romance weaves through the streets of Paris, reflecting existential questions and youthful longing. Renowned for its innovative editing, jump cuts, and taboo-breaking style, Breathless helped launch the French New Wave and set the standard for modern film artistry.
