Biography

film director

Jean-Luc Godard

Jean-Luc Godard (Paris, 1930) is one of the absolute protagonists of the Nouvelle Vague, first as a militant film critic for “Cahiers du cinéma” during the 1950s, then as a director, right from his debut with Breathless (1960). Over the course of a career which has lasted almost fifty years, Godard has established himself as one of the most radical and rigorous innovators of the film language.
