Was reading this article on Breathless- its importance, novelty and legacy, then and now. And was struck by how its apparent "freshness" to date might not be the case- had it not been shot in B&W. Color would have further aged and dated it, the added information making it more a prisoner of its own time. Instead of forever celebrating the eternal exuberance of youth, it would be more of a nostalgic keepsake, a paean to youth long lost...
The Americans in color?
