Well, the last movie I saw was "À bout de souffle", it´s a french movie in black and white and it was filmed in 1960. I saw just yesterday at my house for a presentation today. 
The plot of this movie it´s about a young criminal , Michel, a man without future, who goes to find his american girfriend (Patricia) to Paris and to get back his money from a friend, or rather other ganster. After he goes to find this, he stole a car in Marsella, so during his travel to Paris a police catchs him and Michel kills him and he must run away. When he arrived to Paris he finds Patricia and he said that they must go to Rome together, by the way she´s indecisive and she never anwers him crearly. Then due to an inspector who speaks with her, she knows police is finding Michel and she runs away with him, but finally she phones police and Michel dies. 
The actors of this movie are Jean - Paul Belmondo as Michel, and Jean Seberg as Patricia, Belmondo is a frequent actor for Godard´s movies. 
Finally, I consider a nice movie, with a different aesthetic, very typical of nouvelle vague french, although this movie starts up to this new school. I like the history, beacuse is true to life, wihout a Hollywood happy end.
