Jean-Luc Godard is synonymous with cinema. With the release of Breathless in 1960, he established himself overnight as a cinematic rebel and a symbol for the era’s progressive and anti-war youth. One of the founders of the French New Wave, a political agitator, revolutionary misanthrope, and film theorist and critic with a career spanning 62 years and 140 films, Godard is among the most renowned artists of all time. This documentary offers an opportunity for film lovers to look back at his career and the themes that obsessed him.
