His mother, Odile, belonged to a wealthy family of bankers. Godard’s work took on a more sociological turn in the late 1960s. Godard was born in Paris on Dec. That year, Godard embraced socialism by setting up a Marxist cinema collective called Dziga Vertov Group, after the Soviet director. It was a desire to show that everything was allowed.” “It’s a movie that’s been made in reaction to everything that wasn’t being made,” Godard said in an interview in 1960.

It came out a year before popular anger at the establishment shook France, culminating in the iconic but short-lived student unrest of May 1968. He used the pay to finance his first complete film, the 1954 Operation Concrete, a 20-minute documentary about the building of the dam. Notable among them were My Life to Live, Alphaville and Crazy Pete, — which also starred Belmondo and was rumoured to have been shot without a script. By 1952 he had begun writing for the prestigious movie magazine Cahiers du Cinema.

Godard was born into a wealthy Franco-Swiss family on December 3, 1930 in Paris's plush Seventh Arrondissement. Godard was not everyone's idol. Wild-child Canadian director Xavier Dolan, who at 25 shared an award with an octogenarian Godard at the Cannes film festival in 2014, courted controversy every bit as much as Godard did but called him "the grinchy old man" and "no hero of mine". Quentin Tarantino, director of "Pulp Fiction" and "Reservoir Dogs" in the 1990s, is often cited as one of a more recent generation of boundary-bending tradition that Godard and his Earlier came Martin Scorsese in 1976 with "Taxi Driver", the disturbing neon-lit psychological thriller of a Vietnam veteran turned cabbie who steers through the streets all night with a growing obsession for the need to clean up seedy New York. His movies broke with the established conventions of French cinema in 1960 and helped kickstart a new way of filmmaking, complete with handheld camera work, jump cuts and existential dialogue.

Then in the closing credits, instead of simply “Fin,” the screen lit up with “Le Fin du Cinéma,” or “The End of Cinema.” Godard’s revolutionary and Marxist rhetoric pervaded both his films and his public statements. The story of a car-thief who shoots a policeman and is then turned over by his girlfriend used hand-held camera work, incidental lighting, actor monologues to camera and jump-cuts. The most successful was the 1963 feature Le Mépris (‘Contempt’), starring Brigitte Bardot. There he met Claude Chabrol and Francois Truffaut, who would also become influential members of the Nouvelle Vague. Then in 1960, Godard made his first feature film, A Bout de Souffle or ‘Breathless’.

His omnipresence in his films and sheer indulgence took several critics by surprise, but he, being Godard, took cinema to a height where his critics would only make a mere mockery of themselves. His cinema is a testimony to a harmonious marriage between form and content, aesthetics and power, objectivity and subjectivity, thesis and antithesis, sensitivity and intellect. Through his films and words, he was, is and will remain an epitome of courage, boldness, art and intellectual fire. His unsaid text adds more meaning to his films than the text itself.

Godard Taught Me How to Watch Cinema, Even as He Kept ... (The New York Times)

Jean-Luc Godard was a prophet of film's future as an art form, layering images and sound that the body could sink into and the mind could puzzle through.

At one point, they appear next to a red car and I flashed on all the cars and colors in his movies. The reason I fell in love with his 1966 film “Masculin Féminin” when I first saw it wasn’t because he described his characters as “the children of Marx and Coca-Cola” — I fell in love because I too was young and it was beautiful and it broke my heart. Varda was a woman in a man’s world and she learned how to work the room, a habit — and burden — that wasn’t necessary for Godard, the onetime enfant terrible, the former bad-boy genius of cinema who faded into a caricature of himself, almost Lear-like: “A poor, infirm, weak and despised old man.” Godard played with that image of the gruff, cranky, cigar-chomping guru of cinema’s past while in reality he remained a prophet for its still-unrealized future. He insisted that we come to him, that we navigate the densities of his thought, decipher his epigrams and learn a new language: his. One of the things I find most moving about Godard is that even as movies changed, he did, too. Watching it at Cannes, where attendees cheered and nearly levitated out of their seats, remains one of the great experiences of my moviegoing life. It invited us in with a smile and instructed us to enjoy the show, and then come back for more of the same the next week. As he pushed and pulled, he challenged viewers and occasionally assaulted them. An early exposure to avant-garde cinema helped me in this simply because by the time I started digging into Godard’s work, I already knew that movies didn’t necessarily have to be obvious. He was a phantom of cinema long before his death, and he will haunt us. What I also didn’t understand is that I had just watched another way of making — and seeing — film. And now that he’s gone it feels impossible to articulate the immensity of his impact on cinema, an art that he changed more than most.

His political ardour, fuelled by the May ‘68 upheavals in France, would culminate in protest, co-organised by François Truffaut, that shut down the 1968 Cannes Film Festival in solidarity with the students and workers. Being an avid reader of existential and Marxist philosophy, the intellectual penchants resound in his moving images that often touch upon socio-political issues. He threw down the gauntlet to mainstream French cinema's “Tradition of Quality”, which enshrined established convention rather than innovation and experimentation.

Godard, whose commitment to the truth of the image was total and who considered filmmaking a testimony of history, has a lot of urgent and crucial lessons to offer in an age of digital excess and distraction. He is a philosopher, a scientist, a preacher, an educator, a journalist, but all this as an amateur; he is the last (to date) to have been the (coherent) witness and the (moral) conscience of what’s afoot in cinema.” Godard was the conscience of cinema and its consciousness. A cinema of the head and not of the heart, and therefore, a cinema of the minority”. In a long and productive career, we see Godard initially as the incisive film critic of Cahiers du Cinema, then turning into the iconoclast filmmaker of the New Wave generation, as a Maoist in the Dziga Vertov group, and in the last decades, as one of the most self-reflexive chroniclers of cinema and his times. For him, cinema was the image-history of the world, and so, in one way or another, all his films were about cinema itself. In all his works, one can see a young, restless, irreverent rebel at work, thinking in and through images, to not only make sense of the world, but also to shape it as a form of memory and a mode of action.

Godard broke onto the scene with Breathless (1960) with its headlong pacing and revolutionary jump-cuts, and helped kickstart the French New Wave in cinema that would completely change what the medium meant.

Jean-Luc Godard Was Cinema's North Star (The New Yorker)

The French director did more than transform the aesthetic and the practice of filmmaking—he turned the cinema into the central art form of his time.

To the end of his life, he was still fighting his way up and in, even from the heights of cinematic history that he had scaled. The awe-inspiring example of his films has converged with his personal practice to enter the DNA of today’s cinema. (I interviewed Godard’s longtime cinematographer Raoul Coutard, who called the town Rollywood.) Godard made his domestic activities and local observations converge with the history of the cinema and the grand-scale politics of his era. At the restaurant where we ate, he was voluble, and his conversation was wide-ranging, embracing Shakespeare (we discussed “Coriolanus”) and “Schindler’s List,” the Second World War and the later films of classic Hollywood directors and aspects of his own youth (such as his avoidance of military service both in France and in Switzerland), and he talked of food (the coffee and the local fish), and made winking fun of the shirt that a man at another table was wearing. There was no legend to look up to, no dominant figure to inspire or overawe; I naïvely but sincerely saw the film face to face, so to speak, and saw him in it the same way, as a filmmaker virtually addressing his audience, across the decades, in real time. And, as prolific as he was during his first flush of artistic fervor, he was even more so at the time of his return—though he made fewer features (“only” eighteen from 1980 onward), he also created video essays, including the monumental “Histoire(s) du Cinéma,” that were crucibles, epilogues, and living notebooks for his features. He sought a culture of his own, and, with his largely autodidactic passion for movies, he found one that was resolutely modern—and that, with his intellectual fervor, he helped raise to equality with the classics. Godard was raised in bourgeois comfort and propriety—his father was a doctor, his mother was a medical assistant and the scion of a major banking family—and his artistic interests were encouraged, but his voyage into the cinema was a self-conscious revolt against his cultural heritage. At twenty-one, Godard published a theoretical treatise in Cahiers, “Defense and Illustration of Classical Construction,” which is one of the great manifestos of rigorously reasoned artistic freedom; at twenty-five, he wrote an instant-classic essay on film editing, or “montage,” a word that came to define his career. What he retained to the very end of his career (his final feature, “ [The Image Book](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/the-front-row/the-image-book-reviewed-jean-luc-godard-confronts-cinemas-depiction-of-the-arab-world),” was released in 2018) was his sense of youth and his love of adventure. [to Bob Dylan’s](https://www.newyorker.com/culture/richard-brody/bob-dylan-in-correspondence).) Yet, like many artistic heroes of the sixties, Godard found that his public image and his private life, his fame and his ambitions, came into conflict. But it wasn’t just the news that made his films feel like the embodiment of their times—it was Godard’s insolence, his defiance, his derisive humor, his sense of freedom.

Jean Luc-Godard, one of the legends of French New Wave cinema (The Indian Express)

The director and writer of over a 100 films, Jean Luc-Godard came to prominence with his 1960 film Breathless.

The films made by him during the French New Wave have inspired filmmakers from across the globe to invent and experiment with new techniques. Both Godard’s film and the French New Wave complemented each other perfectly. Jean-Luc Godard was one of the important figures of the New Wave cinema. The wave, with its unconventional approach to sex, violence, anti-war politics, and explorations of the counter-culture, introduced new techniques in film-making. The director and writer of over a 100 films, Godard came to prominence with his 1960 film Breathless. French President Emmanuel Macron paid tribute to the legend, and called him the “most iconoclastic of the New Wave directors” who “invented a resolutely modern, intensely free art form.”

नहीं रहा वो महान फिल्मकार, जिसकी नक़ल पूरी दुनिया के फ़िल्ममेकर करते हैं (The Lallantop)

ऐसा सिनेपान करने वाला महान फिल्मकार 91 की उम्र में दुनिया से चला गया, नाम है जॉन लुक गोदार.

इस फ़िल्म में गोदार ने जॉनर के साथ भी एक प्रयोग किया. टेरेंटीनो ने उनके बारे में कहा था कि गोदार ने एक निर्देशक के तौर पर मुझे बहुत प्रभावित किया. उनकी इसी तकनीक ने नॉन लीनियर नरेटिव की फिल्मों को जन्म दिया. अपनी फिल्मों की स्टोरीटेलिंग में टाइम और स्पेस को आपस में मिला दिया. गोदार ने फ़िल्म के फिक्स नरेटिव को ब्रेक किया. इसे कान्स फ़िल्म फेस्टिवल में भी चुना गया. उनकी फिल्मों ने 1960 के दशक में फ्रेंच सिनेमा के बने बनाए रूल्स को बदला. दोनों ने साथ में जो आखिरी फीचर बनाई, उसे अमेरिका में कॉपीराइट के झमेले में भी फंसना पड़ा. गोदार का 1930 में पेरिस में जन्म हुआ. उन्होंने ट्रूफौ से इजाज़त मांगी और फ़िल्म पर काम शुरू कर दिया. उन्होंने पेरिस की गलियों में घूम-घूमकर 1959 में फ़िल्म शूट की. उस दौरान गोदार ने फ़िल्म क्रिटिक के तौर पर मैगजीन में लिखना शुरू किया.
