More Breathless Cinema: Godard’s Vivre sa vie + Alphaville

In advance of our premiere presentation, October 22-27, of the 50th anniversary restoration of Jean-Luc Godard’s legendary Breathless, Pacific Cinémathèque presents a double bill, at special two-for-one pricing, of Vivre sa vie and Alphaville, two other extraordinary films from the giddy, glorious New Wave heyday of the artist who once signed one of his works (it was the Quentin Tarantino favourite Bande à part) as “Jean-Luc Cinéma Godard.”

Special 2-for-1 pricing: See both Vivre sa vie and Alphaville for our regular single-bill admission price: $10.50 Adults / $9.00.

Note: Alphaville will screen in a 16mm print drawn from Pacific Cinémathèque’s archives.
