Summary: If you had to pick 10 Richard Gere films ...
Review: Just say you were asked to pick 10 of Richard Gere's all time great films. Ok, I agree he's probably only done 5 great films so finding 10 enough would be hard. But I think I could do it. "Breathless", however would not be included because it is one of the most boring and ridiculous films I have seen. Back in 1983 it hit the cinemas and people went and saw it because of Richard Gere's full frontal nudity. But blink and you will miss those bits, they are so fast on your screen.

"Breathless" may be a remake of a French classic, but that does not make it a masterpiece.

Summary: Sensual and Hot
Review: My favorite Richard Gere movie and one of the sexiest movies I've ever seen---better than 9-1/2 Weeks. He's excellent as the good looking, bad-boy sleaze, and she's gorgeous as the girl swept off her feet by the wrong guy---they positively steam! Great story and music too. If you haven't seen it, rent it. By the way, it's for sale from Columbia House Video Club.

Summary: Nothing breathless about this loser....
Review: Ok...for you women (and men) who would enjoy seeing Richard Gere's naked [butt] and brief view of his genitals...this may be your cup of tea. However, I bought it because of Valerie Kapriski's nude scenes....not enough of those however to rescue this poorly made remake of a French classic. Although she is a beautiful young woman (at the time this was made)and she does have numerous topless scenes in the film, the horribly bad story line and her poor acting skills kill any erotic charge the director was attempting to accomplish here. Don't waste your time or money on this big loser...everything about it [was awful]!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Very disappointing
Review: One of the worst movies I have ever seen. Richard Gere's first years of acting and it shows. Nothing original, waste of time.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: ANOTHER COP KILLER HERO.
Review: Our hero in "Breathless" is played by Richard Gere. His name is Jesse and he has his faults like all of us do. You know...stealing cars, assaulting people, killing police officers. This movie would lead us to believe that he is really a pretty good guy at heart. Jesse simply likes living a little closer to the edge than most. We follow him on the adventures he encounters while he is busy stalking an attractive young woman named Monica. He had romanced her for a few days while she was vacationing in Las Vegas and has decided that he is in love and has to have her. Is there any reason to care about Jesse and whether or not he finds the happiness and love he is looking for? The short answer would be...NO. "Breathless" is yet another in a very long list of movies with criminal protagonists who are selfish, violent and difficult to care about.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "Breathless" will Rock Your Soul, Richard Gere-Style
Review: Richard Gere is a charismatic hellazopoppin' rockabilly desperado in Jim McBride's deliriously-fluid soul-shakin' ode to the rock n'roll of youth, baby. Fashioning himself after the "The Killer"-Jerry Lee Lewis, Richard Gere's Jesse blazes across the screen, setting hearts afire, a bouncin' bubble in a whirl of trouble, destined to rock his woman Monica in the heat of a Mexican sunset. McBride makes deft use of Jesse's jovial mental jukebox, serving up stirring pop as internal monologue, as well as paralleling Jesse's destiny with that of that lonely intergalactic wave-crasher, The Silver Surfer. All these elements, combined will charm you, entrance you, mesmerize you into to a giddy euphoria that'll have you dancin' for days, baby. And to all you New Wave sycophants, "Breathless" takes the Pepsi Challenge with Godard, any day of the week. The Surfman lives on!

Summary: What a crap remake of a great movie
Review: The original version of the movie,A BOUT DE SOUFFLE, is a great movie using "jump cuts" "improvised dialogues" with good actors
Jean Paul Belmondo,Jean Seberg,but the original was commercially contaminated by Hollywood version(Breathless). The story became
bad,the acting is not good,no innovative skill in this Hollywood
version. See the original version if you like a good movie.
