Jean-Luc Godard

The father of the French New Wave made Breathless, invented the jump cut and spent the next sixty years making films that critics adored and audiences walked out of in shifts. He insulted Truffaut, Spielberg and most of the people who paid for his movies, and at 91 he chose an assisted death in Switzerland, ending on the abrupt cut he always loved. Fin.
