Do we get to count all the films of the French New Wave? Breathless is loaded with memorable street scenes with only a few people who are actually part of the fiction in the frame. I just taught Shoot the Piano Player and was especially struck by a scene in which Truffaut unnecessarily has his characters in the middle of a conversation in an apartment open the doors to the balcony and continue the conversation in front of the swarming Parisian streets.
