In 1959, a brash critic-turned-filmmaker named Jean-Luc Godard cast movie star Jean Seberg in his first film, BREATHLESS. You probably know it revolutionized movies, but it also had a big impact on fashion, onscreen and off—by seeming like it wasn’t even trying. With the help of historians and critics, host Rico Gagliano decodes Seberg’s “French Girl” style…and also gives you a peek into his ’70s disco wardrobe.  Seriously.

Season 5, titled Tailor Made, dives deep into the worlds of film and fashion. Each episode tackles a landmark movie that captured a major fashion look of an era, and then decodes what that look meant—to the culture that spawned it, the people who wore it, and the audiences who watched it on screen.

BREATHLESS is now streaming on MUBI in Italy and Turkey. Also, check out First Films First, our series of directorial debuts that launched the careers of some of cinema’s finest auteurs. Availability of films varies depending on your country.

Links to the books and video essay mentioned in the episode: BREATHLESS edited and with an introduction by Dudley Andrew, JE NE SUIS PAS PARISIENNE by Alice Pfeiffer, and the LILITH DVD that includes the extra “The Many Faces of Jean Seberg” featuring Pamela Hutchinson.

Finally, Rico's disco look in all its resplendent glory 🤩

Intro/outro music: 'Nectár' by Tenório Jr.

HISTOIRE(S) DU CINÉMA (1988), France and Switzerland, written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard, original cinematography by Pierre Binggeli and Hervé Duhamel, featuring Jean-Luc Godard, Juliette Binoche, and Julie Delpy.

This week, Charlie and Antonio tackle the first of four films directed by cinema's enfant terrible of the French New Wave: Jean-Luc Godard's PIERROT LE FOU. Featuring French superstars Jean-Paul Belmondo and Anna Karina, this film follows the familiar story of lovers on the run, though Godard's direction makes this anything but familiar. Join Charlie and Antonio in tackling this challenging film and the controversial man who made it. Pass it on!

Intro/outro music: 'Battle of Algiers' composed by Ennio Morricone, covered by John Zorn

PIERROT LE FOU (1965), France, written and directed by Jean-Luc Godard, cinematography by Raoul Coutard, featuring Jean-Paul Belmondo and Anna Karina.

Àngel Quintana Morraja (Torroella de Montgrí, 1960) és crític i professor de cinema i degà de la Facultat de Lletres de la UdG. Amb ell parlem de cinema, és clar, del cinema actual i de referents, de les maneres de veure pel·lícules, de la sociabilitat, però també de música, periodisme, de la universitat i del compromís polític.

<<<Spoiler alert>>>

We strongly recommend watching À Bout De Souffle before listening to the episode - for many reasons that we get into in the episode, but mainly because it changed cinema forever. You can rent it on BFI player.

Anna Karina (1940-2019) was the actress known as “the face of French New Wave cinema.” Her work with director Jean-Luc Godard shaped the evolution of film in the late 20th century. However, she wasn’t just an icon of the silver screen. She was also a director, hit singer, novelist, and model.

This month, we’re talking about muses–women who were drivers of creativity and inspiration. Once again, we’re proud to partner with Mercedes-Benz (whose famous namesake was inspired by a young muse named Mercedes). Tune in daily for stories of women whose lives inspired work that has shaped our culture.

History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn’t help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should.

Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we’ll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more.  Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures. 

Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Liz Smith, Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Ale Tejeda, Sara Schleede, and Alex Jhamb Burns. Special thanks to Shira Atkins. 

Original theme music composed by Miles Moran.

In the seventeenth episode of Season 6 (Heists, Cons, & Grifters) Kyle is joined by fellow podcaster Ben Thelen (of the Dead Reckoner podcast) and screenwriter David Gutierrez to discuss the cinema formalism of Jean-Luc Godard and how it applies to a cultural critique of nostalgia and B-movie identities in Band of Outsiders (1964).

The cinephile cuties are back at it again! This week Casey and Patrick are talking about that classic French New Wave film The 400 Blows by the beloved “Farteur” François Truffaut. Casey yells at Patrick for rescheduling a recording. They chat about the first time they saw porn. They subject The 400 Blows to their proprietary ‘Fartsy Test.’ Patrick gives a drink pairing recommendation to go with the film. And, as always, they have notes for each other on how the other can improve.

In what will go down as the very first triple header in Extra Milestone history, I am joined once again by Anyway, That's All I Got veteran Jason Read! Jason and I take a look at both the French New Wave and the work of Jean-Luc Godard with Breathless (1960), explore a fantastic and somewhat lesser-known horror classic with Eyes Without A Face (1960), and round out the show with an exploration of the Giallo subgenre and the work of Dario Argento with the fiendishly frightening Deep Red (1975). Although we went heavily into detail with Breathless, we took special care not to give too much away about the latter two films, so feel free to listen to those segments whether they are old favorites or completely new to you. It's a delightful series of conversations that traverses a broad section of the cinematic landscape, and we hope it's just as fun to listen to as it was to record!

SHOW NOTES:

• 00:08:25 – Breathless
• 00:54:55 – Eyes Without A Face
• 01:25:40 – Deep Red

Next week on Extra Milestone, tune in to hear Sam, Jon, Will, and special guest Emily Kubincanek discuss Alfred Hitchcock's Rebecca (1940) and Jacques Becker's Le Trou (1960)!

Music in this episode: The theme of Eyes Without A Face, arranged by Maurice Jarre; music from the trailers for Breathless and Deep Red.
