Jean-Luc Godard's first feature—a witty mashup of American noir and French chic—is as much an art-house staple today as it was in 1960, which is precisely why it's getting the 50th-anniversary reissue treatment this month. Think of Belmondo aping Bogart with his cigarette, Seberg flacking the ]]><em>New York Herald Tribune</em><![CDATA[, or the director's game-changing jump-cuts, and you realize that various elements of the film have never gone out of style. This may get me booted from the ]]><em>cinéaste</em><![CDATA[ club, but I'll come right out and say it: ]]><em>Breathless</em><![CDATA[ isn't one of Godard's most interesting creations.

In the first chapter, a character considers Googling her psychiatrist. Later, members of an African safari reconnect on Facebook, and a character's 9-year-old daughter spends much of her time "in a pink beanbag chair, doing homework on her laptop and IMing her friends." But it is not until the final chapter, titled "Pure Language," that it becomes apparent that Egan is using online communication and social networks to explore the way the Internet makes traditional narrative struc-tures feel obsolete.]]></description><guid>http://services.newsweek.com/id/238586?from=rss</guid><pubDate>Sat, 05 Jun 2010 01:58:02 GMT</pubDate><category>Books</category></item><item><title>Movies: Italy Porn (For Ladies Only)</title><link>http://services.newsweek.com/id/238584?from=rss</link><description><![CDATA[There is a fantasy, spawned by W. Shakespeare, propagated by H. James, embraced by A. Hepburn and the Twins Olsen, that today goes something like this: a sad modern lady, one intimately familiar with the Lean Cuisine family of products, packs white linen pants, slinky black dresses, and several packs of Kleenex. She boards a plane, fed up with her soul-crushing home life. But upon arrival in glimmering Italia—]]><em>bravissima!</em><![CDATA[ She falls in love with the first man she encounters, and the pair consummate their attraction not just with physical love but with dinners alfresco and ]]><em>molto vino</em><![CDATA[, sipped from these adorable bistro glasses you totally can't find back home. She becomes unmoored from her mores—she might bite into a San Marzano tomato like it's an apple, its juices dribbling down her forearm unchecked, or chop off all her hair.
