The star here is the extensive use of rear projection to create a somewhat surreal feel. Watch it. It's almost fun.

A mini cult 80s gem of a film. Richard Gere and the gorgeous Valerie Kaprisky are the star crossed lovers on the run from the LAPD, lots of sex, and a great soundtrack makes this one of those time capsule films that might of passed you by. Quentin Tarrantino himself has called this film a personal favourite. Catch it if you can ?

The movie was cartoonish, unlike Belmondo's rendition which hit the nerve perfectly. Gere's role was far too affectedly zany and Kaprisky a bit too wooden. The Silver Surfer insert was silly but in keeping with the cartoonish zeitgeist. Gere's trying to act like Silver Surfer, who he idolizes...but he doesn't have any of Silver Surfer's powers, or Silver Surfer's questioning of morality of his decisions, nor Silver Surfer's Prometheus-like or Christ-like qualities--it just seems like tacked-on symbolism that's poorly thought out. In the original Breathless Belmondo idolizes Bogie and acts tough like Bogie, but that symbolism makes sense and is a better character fit; this one doesn't. The relationship between the two main characters feels strained and unnatural in the remake, probably because neither character is lifelike or realistic. When Gere's affected role spilled over into silliness, as in the last scene of the movie, it further distanced itself from the nuance of Belmondo's portrayal in 1960. I watched the original Godard version and this McBride remake in tandem on the same day, and the gulf in technique, characterization and thematic treatment is night and day.
