French director Jean-Luc
Godard helped usher in cinema's New Wave with his debut feature in 1959,
Breathless. Throwing out all the traditional rules of filmmaking, Godard
shot the film without a script, using jump cuts and a shaky hand-held camera
in a freeform style. Godard began as a critic at the influential journal
Cahiers du Cinéma, where he worked with other New Wave pioneers,
including François Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, and Eric Rohmer. Throughout
his career, Godard has pushed the envelope in both style and subject, setting
new standards for experimentation in film.
