Director Bio : Jean-Luc Godard (3 Dec 1930—13 Sep 2022) is a celebrated French-Swiss film director, screenwriter and critic. At the age of sixteen, he became so fascinated with cinema, that he failed his baccalaureate examination. Thereafter, he began to spend his time watching films in different cine clubs and hanging out with other films buffs, with whom he later started the French New Wave film movement. At thirty, he made his first feature film, ‘À Bout de Souffle’, which established him as a celebrated director. Thereafter, he continued to make both feature films and shorts, becoming a well-known name in the field of cinema. In introducing New Wave style of filmmaking, he implemented various techniques. Long silence of the characters in presence or absence of surround, emotions expressed through a constant action or a gesture, frequent freeze shots, melodious or orchestrated background score, title cards, and above all, the sweet harmony of French---every single aspect of his films introduces the form of a visual music. As the Italian and French culture of musicals, operas and ballads blend, visual music emerges from none other than France
