films d'hier is a new column we’re introducing to pretty much be a place where my love letters to films can live. These are more opinion and personal taste pieces for the most part.

“There was before Breathless, and there was after Breathless”. A phrase that usually accompanies Breathless.
Breathless is a love story between Patricia; a woman trying to figure things out, and Michel, a small time crook and con man without a care in the world, making ends meet by pickpocketing, and boosting cars whenever he needs them. Patricia is a New Yorker in Paris trying to be a journalist, who’s also figuring out what she likes about Michel.
