Breathless

Breathless evokes a strong sense of Sadness and Melancholy due to its tragic narrative and the doomed fate of its anti-hero protagonist. Empathy is felt for the complex characters, particularly Patricia's moral dilemma. The constant threat of capture for Michel fuels Anxiety and Anticipation, while the central, albeit troubled, romance contributes to Love. Confusion arises from the characters' often ambiguous motivations and the film's existential undertones.
