Born in Paris in 1930, Jean-Luc Godard lived between Switzerland and France. Libération collects death by assisted suicide. In post-war Paris he found his place in the many intellectual “cineclub”. Like other directors of Ëric Rohmer, François Truffaut and Nouvelle vague, he started his career as a film critic in the 1950s in the magazine Cahiers du Cinema, among others. At the same time he is dedicated to the production of short films and in 1959 he made his first feature film: À bout de souffle, a highly successful film, became one of the fundamental works of the Nouvelle vague movement. From start to finish, he questioned cinematic conventions by creating a form of author film.

In the 1960s, Godard started rolling and rolling a bunch of films, until it became more than a year. Her next film was Le Petit Juvenile on the Algerian War, shot in 1960, but it was not published until 1963, as it was censored by the doubt of the French State's action in Algeria. Many of Godard's films in the 1960s showed concern and the ups and downs that erupted in May 1968. In 1968 he collaborated in the suspension of the Cannes festival in solidarity with the riots in Paris.

Together with filmmaker Jean-Pierre Gorin, who worked as a consultant at La Chinoise (1967), he founded the Dziga Vertov group in 1968, with the aim of creating political Maoist films. The group produced nine films between 1968 and 1972. At that time Godard was already known worldwide, but little by little his reference went off. Starting in the mid-1970s, he moved away from the film industry and started working with videos. He returned to the film in 1980 with Sauve qui peut (la vie) and in seven years he performed seven feature films. From 1988 to 1998 he composed the series of eight films Histoire(s) du cinéma.

In 2010 he made the film Film Socialisme and received the Oscar for his career. In the following years he experimented with 3D technology and the result was the film Adieu au langage 2014, awarded the prize of the Cannes Jury. Her last experimental film was Le Livre d’image de 2018.
