À bout de souffle

Watch the incredibly enticing trailer.

The revolver.
The nice man.
The cruel woman.
Death.
The little American.
The car thief.
The concerto for claironette.
The police.
The pin-up.
The novelist.
The skivvy.
Humphrey Bogart.
Marseilles.
My friend Gaby.
Picasso.
The Italian photographer.
The anarchists.
The tape recorder.
Tenderness.
Adventure.
Lies.
Love.
The Champs Elysées.
Fear.
Devil in the Flesh.
Rififi.
And God Created Woman.
Scarface.

BREATHLESS






As I watched this film, I longed for a closet full of garments illuminating Parisian chic... and lived vicariously through the experiences of yet again another American girl in Paris. Endearing? Yes, I hope.
