I'm pretty sure that paper is dead. Jean Seberg's character in Breathless sells it along the Champs-Elysees, which is where the reference would come from.

I don't know for sure, but I think the NY Herald-Tribune is what we know now as the International Herald-Tribune.

Sounds likely...

Without question it's BREATHLESS.

Though, there was a famous cat scene in Rivette's L'Amour fou.

i took this as a joke. That said, this line (NEW YORK HERALD TRIBUNE!!!) was quite annoying to my special lady and I when we watched Breathless and it is the one thing we quote from it when we are reminded of the film.

Also,

BREATHLESS (1960, Jean-Luc Godard) - Criterion's email: "We do in fact hold the rights to release Breathless. While the film is not on our current release schedule, we hope to have a finished product available some time next year (2007)"

And this might be released at the same time:

PIERROT LE FOU (1965, Godard) - Rialto says Criterion has the rights, appeared with Janus credits at retrospective. UPDATE: Turrell says this is getting a release in 2007 according to member email.

There is going to be a shit load of extras for sure on Breathless. Supervision with Raoul Coutard. A nice digipak for sure.

Likewise, I'm not sure about whether or not the NY Herald-Tribune has changed its name, but from living in the NY area I can confirm that there isn't any current paper by that name.

So it's Breathless for sure (I suppose it could have been The Dreamers, but Criterion wouldn't be able to get their hands on that one for a loooong time, if ever).

It looks like the New York Herald and the International Herald-Tribune are indeed related

Similar logo anyway...

It sounds like Breathless plus Eclipse's "New Wave" set that was recently mentioned. One of the extras for Breathless is bound to be the 80-minute Chambre 12, Hotel de Suede documentary that's on the upcoming Optimum UK Godard boxset.

Great! Finally the ultimate Breathless DVD is getting released!

Could someone post a link to the online newsletter? I didn't get my email yet. Thanks.

I would bet good money on this being right-on.

Where did we get confirmation of a New Wave Eclipse set?

There was a newspaper article about Eclipse that mentioned a New Wave boxed set as an example of a non-director specific set they planned to release.

Thanks! I must have missed that.

Regarding Breathless being released in a new wave boxset, I don't see how it would happen. The film doesn't really fit the criteria for the Eclipse series at all. I mean it's designed to release "lost, forgotten, or overshadowed classics" and Breathless is a pretty well known and canonized film last time I checked.

Unless of course, it is implied that it would be correspondingly released under Criterion at the same time as a new wave boxset would be released by Eclipse. That would be pretty cool.

the second one is what I and the other poster surely meant.

Maybe, they could stop calling this film Breathless.

I thought this film was called A Bout de Souffle. Isn't Breathless a film with, what's his name... Richard Gere?

Breathless is the Jim McBride 'remake'.
'A bout the souffle' is a film about cooking.

I imagine the "New Wave" reference is just pointing to Breathless as well, since it is the defining film of that movement.

It's Breathless, kids. Just Breathless. Very clearly and obviously Breathless. Anyone who saw the phrase "New York Herald-Tribune" and didn't immediately picture it plastered across Jean Seberg's tits should have their forum membership revoked.
