His distinctive cinematic voice established him as one of the most influential figures in global cinema.
Jean-Luc Godard's revolutionary impact on cinema spans three decades, characterized by his innovative works like Breathless and Contempt. His bold experimentation challenges traditional filmmaking and extends to his thought-provoking essays in Cahiers du Cinéma and insightful interviews. Godard's exploration of film and video redefines the medium, making him a pivotal figure in cinematic history. His controversial projects, such as Hail Mary and Histoire(s) du cinéma, further exemplify his commitment to changing the world through art.

Et si la mort de Puig et du Négus, la mort du capitaine de Boïeldieu, la mort du petit lapin ont été inaudibles, c'est que la vie n'a jamais redonné aux films ce qu'elle leur avait volé. Et que l'oubli de l'extermination fait partie de l'extermination. Voilà presque cinquante ans que, dans le noir, le peuple des salles obscures brûle de l'imaginaire pour réchauffer du réel. Maintenant celui-ci se venge et veut de vraies larmes et du vrai sang. Mais de Vienne à Madrid, de Siodmak à Capra, de Paris à Los Angeles et Moscou, de Renoir à Malraux et Dovjenko, les grands réalisateurs de fiction ont été incapables de contrôler la vengeance qu'ils avaient vingt fois mise en scène.
