Description

Jean-Luc Godard is one of the most influential filmmakers of the last fifty years. Scorsese, Tarantino, Wong Kar-Wai, and Lars von Trier are but a few of the directors who have fallen under the spell of his freewheeling style.

In his 1960s heyday, Godard — always in dark shades, cigarette in hand — epitomised European cool. But he subsequently grew into one of the most formidable artists the cinema has produced.

Writer and filmmaker Richard Brody, one of the few to have interviewed Godard in his Swiss retreat, here offers an accessible account of this extraordinary and fascinating artist.
