"To become immortal, and then die." There you have it. Love Melville.

RIP Jean Luc. One of the 3 most influential directors in cinema, along with Griffith and Welles. This scene is a good representation of his genius.

I love Melville. I like to believe that his answers to the press conference questions were ad-libbed, but some of them (particularly the more "ungentlemanly" of them) sound like the way Godard was thinking at the time.

Ah the great Melville!

[@smorestes]

I hate Godard but this scene is gold.

[@neelixramirez9411]

This scene is one of the main reasons I hate that dude

[@Malum09]

@CinemoiFrenchFilm Does that means that Godard stop thinkig that Melville is great?

[@nitroBB]

Best part of the film, this guy is perfect as a french intelligentsia. But it's A Bout De Souffle, and not Breathless, really. If you wanted to be pedantic.

The man who owned the name of his sire's wonderfully worst novel did a turn-table of a middle finger to the likes of the protagonists. Well, so what?
