Jean-Luc Godard's BREATHLESS - TOMORROW (Thu) Cinema at the Station

Pardon the short notice, but TOMORROW NIGHT, Thursday 9/15, Huron SubStation and your favorite independent DVD store in South Pasadena, Videothèque, will present another installment of Cinema at the Station, our twice-monthly "movie and drinks" nights.

This time, we present Jean-Luc Godard's 1960 film Breathless. Renowned for its groundbreaking use of handheld photography and unorthodox editing, Breathless stands as possibly the most quintessential piece in the Nouvelle Vague (French New Wave) genre.

Originally titled À bout de souffle, Breathless stars Jean Seberg as sexy Patricia Franchini, an American student and aspiring journalist who gets caught up with Michel Poiccard (Jean-Paul Belmondo), a Bogart-esque fugitive on the run from the law after stealing a car and killing a policeman. Frantic car chases and passionate lovemaking accent the duo's amoral odyssey through the streets of Paris trying to collect money he's owed so the two can escape to Italy.

Don't miss our presentation of Breathless tomorrow night, projected in large-scale, full digital quality. Beer and wine will be served at our donation-based bar (with ID), or BYOB! Come early and socialize over drinks to the sounds of our lounge DJ. Here's where it all takes place:
