Jean-Luc Godard, the father of the Nouvelle Vague
Director Jean-Luc Godard passed away in September 2022 at the age of 91. The news was reported by the French newspaper liberationwho explained that the French filmmaker resorted to assisted suicide in Switzerland: “He wasn’t sick, he was just exhausted,” reveals a source quoted by the newspaper.
Born in Paris on December 3, 1930, Godard revolutionized the history of cinema with masterpieces such as Until the last breath And The Contempt. He was a very prolific author, with over 150 works (including films, short films and various videos).
Godard was born in the French capital into a wealthy family. During the Second World War he was sent to study in Switzerland. Upon returning to his native Paris in 1948, he attended the Sorbonne University. Here he began to fall in love with the seventh art, throwing himself headlong into various cinematographic experiments.
In 1959 the turning point: it comes out Until the last breath
His first film is Until the last breath, released in 1959. Thanks to this little one, Jean-Luc Godard was awarded the Silver Bear at the Berlin Film Festival. It is the film that more than any other has become the icon of the Nouvelle Vague, that is the period in the history of cinema represented by filmmakers trained in the critical school of the “Cahiers du cinéma” of the 1950s. These directors were Claude Chabrol, Jean-Luc Godard himself, Eric Rohmer, Jacques Rivette and François Truffaut.
Among the many great unforgettable works of Godard, there are also Le petit soldier, Woman is woman, The Seven Deadly Sins And The Contempt, the latter freely inspired by the novel by Alberto Moravia. In his career, the Parisian director has also won a Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival (with Prename Carmen of 1983).
