Jean-Luc Godard passed away
Godard started out as a film critic before stepping behind the camera with style… À Nuba Souffle. Superstars Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo were glamorous in a new, casual way, with the camera in constant motion, fast and daring editing and a semi-improvised script.
After this came Lou Petit Soldt, A film that was banned until 1963 for depicting torture with government approval. The cast included Danish model Anna Karina, who married Godard in 1961 and went on to appear in a string of his most successful films. She played a nightclub dancer who wants a baby in her Une Femme est une Femme From 1961 a young Parisian prostitute in Vivre sa vie From 1962 and a gang member in pandey part in 1965.
It also included Godard’s rich, influential films of the 1960s Alphaville And the Le Mipress.
Le Mipresssince 1963, and starring Brigitte Bardot, has been chosen by Martin Scorsese as one of his ten favorite films.
“It is one of the most influential films of his era and Godard was the greatest visual artist of contemporary cinema.”
French President Emmanuel Macron honored the director in a tweet.
It was like appearing in French cinema. Then he became a master at it. Jean-Luc Godard, Nouvelle Vague’s most famous maker, has created ultra-modern and free-form art. We lost a national treasure, a man who had the vision of a genius.”
