VHS Movie Reviews of Breathless (1983)

Movie Review: Spectacular Eye Candy for Either Gender
Summary: 4 Stars

It took me a second viewing to really appreciate this film. Since then I have watched it many times.

This is one of the rare movies where Richard Gere has an equally attractive co-star (Valerie Kaprisky). Intersection with Sharon Stone would be another example.

Richard and Valerie are hard to beat as pure eye candy. They apparently agreed, as word has it that they embarked on a tempestuous affair after this film. I believe she was only nineteen when the movie was made.

The eclectic soundtrack makes this film all the better. It includes rockabilly kings Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis Presley to a hypnotic version of Phillip Glass' Openings to Message of Love by the Pretenders.

If you've ever had a bad boy pulling on your heartsrings at a tender age, you will understand why Monica felt irresistibly drawn to Jesse. You will also appreciate that in the end she gathered the resolve to pull away. This is the kind of affair that lodges in a corner of your heart for a long time, possibly for good.

Movie Review: BREATHLESS
Summary: 2 Stars

IT'S FUN AND SEXY...VERY 80'S...THEY DON'T MAKE MOVIES LIKE THIS ANYMORE...

IT'S THE RICHARD GERE SHOW !!!!

Movie Review: Breathless Rocks!
Summary: 4 Stars

This is definetly one of Richard Gere's sexiest flicks and is even sexier than AMERICAN GIGALO, and AN OFFICER & A GENTLEMAN

Movie Review: Lifeless
Summary: 2 Stars

I've not seen Jean-Luc Godard's original but it has to be better than this overripe film. I'd call it a case of style over substance but there's no discernible style here. Richard Gere's preening narcissistic punk is downright grating. You wonder what Valerie Kaprisky's architecture student sees in this jerk. But, then, Kaprisky's only real talent on display here is shedding her clothes. Which leads to the film's mandatory love scenes. Boring! There's no compelling reason to see this mediocrity.

Movie Review: I liked it!
Summary: 4 Stars

The two leads were incredibly beautiful actors, who were enjoyable to watch. The storyline held my interest and I thought Richard Gere did a great job. His obsession with the French woman and his shiftlessness were believable. I've never seen the original film.
