Jean-Paul Belmondo and Jean Seberg on the Champs-Elysees in A bout de souffle (Breathless).
This photograph has become the emblem of A bout de souffle (Breathless) (and even of nouvelle vague on the whole), despite not being a scene from the film.
In order to prevent curious passers by obstructing the photographs during filming, Cauchetier took Seberg and Belmondo to a quiet stretch at the end of the Champs-Elysees to reconstruct the now iconic scene.
For Cauchetier, The photographer must be forgotten. It is a shadow. He should not bother anyone. Neither the technician nor the actors. His work will not be valued until much later, sometimes years after the shooting, when it will really become the memory of the film.
