Arthouse Houston is proud to present Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless (1960) as the next installment in our “Wes & Rick’s Pix” film series at the River Oaks Theatre. Richard Linklater selected this film for the series because it was one of the most memorable and impactful films he watched at the River Oaks Theatre, and he wants us all to see it on the BIG screen and in community.
Doors open at 6:40 PM. Arrive early to enjoy dinner, drinks, and the full program, featuring a live musical performance from Kelly Doyle and an introduction message sent from Houston native and renowned director, Richard Linklater, followed by the feature film at 7:30 PM.
About Breathless: Petty thug Michel (Jean-Paul Belmondo) considers himself a suave bad guy in the manner of Humphrey Bogart, but panics and impulsively kills a policeman while driving a stolen car. On the lam, he turns to his aspiring journalist girlfriend, Patricia (Jean Seberg), hiding out in her Paris apartment while he tries to pull together enough money to get the pair to Italy. But when Patricia learns that her boyfriend is being investigated for murder, she begins to question her loyalties.

One of the things in this world you genuinely and definitely cannot construct is an old building. Add to that: the rarity of an actual existing and operational movie palace. This one has a history literally like no other left in Houston.
