Jean Seberg: Jean-Luc Godard
built 615 days ago
Rappaport looks at the other roles Jean Seberg played and how her particular American innocence was greedily consumed by the French. "Bonjour Tristesse" convinced Jean-Luc Godard that she was the only candidate for the American in "Breathless," a film that became synonymous with the French New Wave. Anybody who has been to college has seen Jean Seberg's wide-eyed, snappy gal peddling the Herald Tribune on the Champs Elysee.

Disc one offers 27 minutes worth of combined, excerpted, archival interviews with director Jean-Luc Godard, and actors Jean-Paul Belmondo, Jean Seberg, as well as Jean-Pierre Melville recorded for French television between 1960 and 1964. Absolutely cool stuff. There is ... a 2 minute French trailer on the feature disc.

Jean Seberg was an American actress immortalized in Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless". Her tomboy short blond cut was the epitome of 60s' Twiggy look. Ms. Seberg was active in the civil rights movement during that period and was a target of FBI surveillance. In 1979 she went missing one day, and was found dead 11 days later in a car in Paris. The cause of death was a massive dose of barbiturates and alcohol. She was only 40.
