Alternate versions
All of the IMDb reviews (and many of the external reviews) look to be based on the 94m DVD release (from 2007 onward). Looking at the specifications the original movie was some 15m longer. The DVD was first produced for Optimum Releasing (now part of Canal+) is is now through Kino. There does not appear to be any publicly available record of what was cut or why.

A Hitchcockian Classic!

What a great discovery! This movie has finally been released on DVD and is a beautiful, haunting film that demands to be seen multiple times. It features a standout performance from Jean-Paul Belmondo at his Breathless best, playing the character of Laszlo Kovacs. At times brutally honest about relationships, this film works as both a murder mystery and social comment -- much like Renoir's "Rules of the Game." It also features several suspenseful scenes that are so intricately composed and beautifully shot, Hitchcock would be jealous. I highly recommend this film for anyone interested in New Wave cinema and world classics.
