Breathless

Breathless (1983) is a crime drama you can watch online on iFILM, directed by Jim McBride and starring Richard Gere at his most recklessly magnetic. Jesse steals a car in Las Vegas, shoots a highway patrolman by accident, and races to Los Angeles — broke, wanted, and convinced that none of it matters as long as he finds Monica, the French exchange student he can't stop thinking about.

Valérie Kaprisky plays Monica, the only person Jesse trusts enough to tell the truth to — which puts her in a corner she didn't ask for. McBride's film is a loose American reworking of Jean-Luc Godard's 1960 original, trading Paris for sun-drenched L.A. streets and nouvelle vague cool for raw, physical energy.

What makes it stick is Gere — all bravado and nervous momentum, carrying a character who's too impulsive to be tragic and too charming to dismiss. Stream Breathless (1983) online on iFILM.
