Jean-Luc Godard's earth-shaking masterpiece debut "Breathless" turns 55 this year. In spirit, an essential new collection of photographs titled "Raymond Cauchetier's New Wave" comes out this month. Cauchetier catches candid moments of New Wave stars and filmmakers at their most intimate, from Anouk Aimée titillating in Jacques Demy's first film "Lola" to Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo (the coolest screen couple ever) sharing electric chemistry on the "Breathless" set. These photos will appear in a new exhibit of the 95-year-old photographer's work at London's James Hyman gallery from June 17 to August 18, 2015. See highlights below, and head to Vanity Fair for more. Read More: "Alphaville" Turns 50 -- Why It's Must-See Godard...

Raymond Cauchetier's photographs of the French New Wave are treasures of the period. His photographs, from the sets of films such as Jean-Luc Godard's "Breathless" (he was the official on-set photographer) and François Truffaut's "Jules et Jim" are iconic. Gorgeous exhibition collection Photos De Cinéma is on view at Santa Monica's Peter Fefferman Gallery until December 6.

The news that's out there right now is just a nightmare of boredom. Who cares if The Lone Ranger is yet another film going over budget and missing deadlines? Who cares if Christopher Nolan is going to executive produce Wally Pfister's directorial debut? Maybe I'm just cranky because I have spent my time with two separate Django Unchained trailer posts and two separated Twilight: Breaking Dawn posts. So, to cheer myself up and hopefully pique your interest in one of the greatest movies ever made (and perhaps my personal all-time favorite), here are three pictures from the set of Breathless featuring Jean-Luc Godard and cinematographer Raoul Coutard. The pic above features Coutard in the mail cart with his camera peeking through a small hole cut in front filming Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg as they walk down the Champs-Elysee. It wasn't a closed set so if you watch the...

HollywoodNews.com: The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will present a recently restored 35mm print of “Breathless” (“À bout de souffle”) on Friday, March 23, at 7:30 p.m. at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater in Beverly Hills. The screening is presented in conjunction with the opening of the Academy’s new exhibition “Photos de Cinéma: Images of the French New Wave by Raymond Cauchetier.” Cauchetier was the set photographer for this and many other key titles of the French New Wave movement. There will be special evening gallery hours from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. and immediately following the screening.
“Breathless” (1960) launched a global passion for “La Nouvelle Vague” (“The New Wave”) and made actors Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo international stars. The film also became an inspiration for a generation of legendary French filmmaking talent.
Writer-director Jean-Luc Godard made his feature film debut with this now classic work.

When I wrote my review of Criterion's Blu-ray release of Breathless I added a couple of links to the images included below as quick references but I always wanted to return to the subject before too much time passed and add some additional perspective.
For me, the shots below add to the excellence of Jean-Luc Godard's classic French New Wave feature and hopefully it will do the same from you. The photos were taken by set photographer Raymond Cauchetier.
Mail Cart on the Champs-Élysees
In the picture to the left what you don't see is cinematographer Raoul Coutard inside the three-wheeled mail cart with a small hole cut in front for the camera. Director Jean-Luc Godard follows behind as Coutard films Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg in the scene featured in the video to the right as they walk down the Champs-Élysees.

Jean-Luc Godard and his pals may have fuelled a stylistic revolution, but their flimsy characterisation and excessive soul-searching quickly grew dull
There are few images more enduringly cool than that of Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg strolling nonchalantly down the Champs-Élysées in Jean-Luc Godard's À Bout de Souffle. Never mind that the scene did not actually appear in the film itself: the still of the gangster and his dainty, laughing companion became an emblem for the French New Wave, heralding a era of intimate storytelling and monochrome chic.
Now, praise be, a London exhibition by Raymond Cauchetier is displaying this and other behind-the-scenes images from New Wave films. François Truffaut sharing a cigarette with a giggling Françoise Dorléac on the set of La Peau Douce; Seberg looking nervous in a cafe with Godard; crowds gathering around the production crew as the final scene of À Bout de Souffle is filmed.

Sometimes, people are too cool to ever let their craft truly get out of their system.
That is the case when talking about photographer Raymond Cauchetier, who has now opened his first commercial exhibition. Sure, that would be impressive for anyone, but also note that this exhibit will coincide with his 90th birthday.
A beloved photographer, he is best known for his behind the scenes photos from the sets of films like Jean-Luc Godard’s Breathless, as well as Francois Truffaut’s Jules and Jim and even the brilliant, but horribly underrated Godard masterpiece, A Woman Is A Woman. He stopped working as a set photographer in 1968, but his work has been called true masterworks of not only photography, but the world in which he worked, The French New Wave.
I’ve seen a lot of his work, through things like the Breathless Criterion release and other releases like that,...

Glimpses of life on set of films such as Lola and Jules et Jim to be displayed at the James Hyman Gallery
His name is hardly known, even in his native France, but for almost 10 years Raymond Cauchetier chronicled one of the most exciting and revolutionary film decades. Now his photographs of the French New Wave are to go on display together for the first time.
It will be London not Paris which exhibits Cauchetier's behind the scenes glimpses of life on the set of films such as Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless, Jacques Demy's Lola and Francois Truffaut's Jules et Jim.
The images will be included in a selling exhibition and all are very French. Lots of brooding, flirting, pouting and kissing. They include Jean Seberg looking sultry behind a plume of Chesterfield cigarette smoke; Anouk Aimee living it up in a top hat as the eponymous Nantes cabaret star in Lola,...

The name Raymond Cauchetier probably doesn’t mean much to anybody, but this guy is very special. The ninety year old set photographer chronicled one of the most revolutionary moments in cinema. Dubbed The French New Wave, Cauchetier photographed productions for the cinema gods such as Godard, Truffaut and Jacques Demy. After decades in the industry, he’s getting his first ever exhibition.
From the press release:
“The exhibition coincides with the 50th anniversary of Godard’s first feature A Bout de Souffle (1960), re-released in cinemas (25 June) and on Blu-ray / DVD (13 September); for which Cauchetier was hired as the on-set photographer. Along with A Bout de Souffle, the exhibition includes images from Godard’s Une Femme est Une Femme (1960), Jacques Rozier’s Adieu Philippine (1960), Jacques Demy’s Lola (1960), starring Anouk Aimée, and Francois Truffaut’s Jules et Jim (1962) with Jeanne Moreau, La Peau Douce (1963) and Baisers Volés (1968).”

Jean‑Luc Godard's masterpiece remains a startling example of the French new wave and marked the arrival of one of cinema's most influential directors
Two trailers bookend my half-a-century of writing professionally about the cinema and bracket the career of the man who is arguably the most influential moviemaker of my lifetime. Fifty years ago this month I dropped into an Oslo cinema while waiting for a midnight train and saw an unforgettable trailer for a French picture. It cut abruptly between a handsome, broken-nosed actor I'd never come across before, giant posters of Humphrey Bogart, and the familiar features of Jean Seberg, whom I knew to be an idol of French cinéastes as the protegee of Otto Preminger. Shot in high contrast monochrome, rapidly edited, interspersed with puzzling statements in white-on-black and black-on-white lettering, it was like no other trailer I'd seen, and I was captivated. Not until my...
