The news that’s out there right now is just a nightmare of boredom. Who cares if The Lone Ranger is yet another film going over budget and missing deadlines? Who cares if Christopher Nolan is going to executive produce Wally Pfister’s directorial debut? Maybe I’m just cranky because I have spent my time with two separate Django Unchained trailer posts and two separated Twilight: Breaking Dawn posts.
So, to cheer myself up and hopefully pique your interest in one of the greatest movies ever made (and perhaps my personal all-time favorite), here are three pictures from the set of Breathless featuring Jean-Luc Godard and cinematographer Raoul Coutard.
The pic above features Coutard in the mail cart with his camera peeking through a small hole cut in front filming Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg as they walk down the Champs-Elysee. It wasn’t a closed set so if you watch the film you’ll catch several moments as passersby look over their shoulders trying to figure out just what is going on.
And below are two more shots featuring Godard and Coutard’s makeshift dolly efforts, this time using a wheelchair.
Of course, this isn’t the first time I’ve featured a couple of these photos, you can check out another great photo from the shoot right here, along with videos showing the resulting scenes in the film.
