Breathless (Jim McBride, 1983) X "Analogue Bubblebath" (Aphex Twin, 1991)
A faithful yet unhinged Los Angeles-based remake of the French New Wave classic with an elegant & effervescent early track by Aphex Twin. Richard Gere’s character is very horny, zany and over-the-top, much like Nicolas Cage in Wild At Heart (David Lynch, 1990), but it all somehow works and this film has it's own charms that distinguish it from the Godard original. I love the flip of French & American protagonists from the original's romantic pair of Belmondo & Seberg. Bonus cool points for the Jack Nitzsche-curated soundtrack, featuring X, Philip Glass, and The Pretenders.
