In a blow for cineastes everywhere, Jean-Luc Godard has died aged 91. The film director is one of cinema’s most influential figures: he was a pioneer of the revolutionary French Nouvelle Vague, creating a barrel of radical and political films in the Sixities.
Known for his experimental filming style, Godard was voracious in his craft, producing as many as 32 features and medium-length films, more than 50 short films, and 15 films as part of the political filmmaking group The Dziga Vertov Group, which he founded alongside Jean-Pierre Gorin.
