Jean-Luc Godard's Breathless celebrating 61 years

Briefly, from Jeffrey St. Clair on Counterpunch.com:

Jean Seberg in a letter to a friend back in California, while filming Breathless: “I’m in the midst of this French film and it’s a long, absolutely insane experience–no lights, no makeup, no sound! Only one good thing–it’s so un-Hollywood I’ve become completely unselfconscious.”

They said it was the movie's 50th anniversary, but they must have meant 60th and it's really the 61st, isn't it?

And I don't know if this is true, but I'd like it to be:

It’s now pretty clear that Godard didn’t know what he was doing technically when he made Breathless. And didn’t care. And not caring made all of the difference…
