About this document

Breathless: Jump Cuts in Car Scene by api-263854869 is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Breathless was a 1960s French film directed by Jean-Luc Godard that featured unusual editing techniques for its time. Specifically, Godard used jump cuts without cutaways in scenes like one in a car, cutting abruptly between shots of a woman in the car in different parts of their drive without showing connecting footage. This disorienting editing style was seen as bad at the time as it lacked logical flow, but became influential.
