<br>by David Ng</font>
<p><i>Le Trou</i> ("The Hole") had the misfortune of being released the same year as Jean-Luc Godard’s <i>Breathless</i>. While the latter became a cinematic linchpin and a cultural reference point, the former took a more rarefied position as a favorite among critics and cinephiles. And while <i>Breathless</i> was Godard’s breakthrough film, the one that put him on the world map, <i>Le Trou</i> was the swan song for its director, Jacques Becker, who died only two weeks after completing it.
