Kannannn,
noticed this in 'Contempt' as well as 'Breathless'... he sometimes cuts to montages of previous scenes out of the blue... wonder why he does that...
[you can see the opposite in Bharathirajaa films... montage of whats going to happen next]
A_A, surprising that you didn't like 'Breathless'. For it's time, 'Breathless' was an amazing film with enough innovations to look back and adore. Remember that the movie was made with hand-held camera. And as I have said earlier, Godard's obsession with Hollywood style movies started with 'Breathless'.
I'd have to watch the movie again to recollect the scenes. But if you are referring to the cuts he introduces through his unconventional editing, that was probably to distance the viewers from the movie, which I mentioned before. I think we had discussed about jump-cuts in Godard's movies earlier. Interestingly, Truffaut was the script writer for 'Breathless'. I wonder how much Truffaut influenced Godard's direction!Quote:

The Prestige
Nolan did not disappoint me. As usual a non-linear screenplay and a couple of brilliant twists at the end. Unfortunately I, for that matter most of the people in the theatre could guess one of those. The one with Bale. But the twist concerning hugh jackman was outstanding that made people gasp at the climax. Very well done. Needless to say, fabulour performance from the rival magicians( bale and jackman). They ve wasted Scarlett Johansson :hammer:
But there is something missing in the movie, I dont know what. But I highly recommend this movie :thumbsup:
I just recently watched the Insider though it is surprisingly bereft of action or gore or even over-the-top suspense as usual Mann movies are it's still a portrayal of a real life struggle to get such charged messages out...Russell Crowe and Al Pacino are exceptional.
