First a combative and ingenious film critic and then a near-mythical figure of the revolutionary modernist cinema of the 1960s, Jean-Luc Godard is a cinematic icon whose inventive brilliance will be impossible to replace. Throwing cinema into a tailspin of continual reinvention, Godard placed the cinematic image at the center of his thinking, appreciation, and critique of the world.
Whether working with pop stars and political activists in his New Wave experiments of the ’60s, or forging new paths in radical collective filmmaking with the Dziga Vertov Group, Godard pushed the boundaries of filmmaking to the very end. Never ceasing to question his beloved Seventh Art, Godard was quick to embrace technological innovation from 3D and camera phone footage to video and subtitles. In the final act of his career, Godard breathed new life into 3D filmmaking, interrogating the role of image-making amid the endless proliferation of digital culture. He was an auteur who will continue to be fundamental to our understanding of the restless machinations of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Thank you for everything, Jean-Luc Godard.
