Jean Seberg was discovered by Otto Preminger and introduced to the screen in his 1957 film “Saint Joan”. “In Breathless” by Jean-Luc Godard, she is resplendent, but that was before she encountered Romain Gary, the Black Panthers, depression, and alcohol. This film is a moving portrait of the icon of the Nouvelle Vague, or how the tragic destiny of a magnificent actress became a film myth. Clint Eastwood provides touching insights.
