44. Jean-Luc Godard (director)
BREATHLESS [À BOUT DE SOUFFLE] (1961)
New York: Films Around the World, 1961. Vintage original 17 x 11” (43 x 28 cm.) pressbook. Folio, folded (as issued), 14 pp. Some scattered creasing, very good+.
A fascinating document, which records the initial reception of this classic of the French NewWave, as it arrived in the U.S. at the beginning of the Kennedy era.The pressbook has an unusual format, whereby each of its opening pages is wider than the one which precedes it, so that they overlap on the front cover.
