A fascinating biography of one of the great controversial geniuses of world cinema.
Jean-Luc Godard is one of the most influential filmmakers of the last fifty years, Scorsese, Tarantino, Wong Kar-Wai and Lars Von Trier but a few of the directors who have fallen under the spell of Godard's free-wheeling 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 had produced.
Writers and filmmaker Richard Brody, one of the few to have interviewed Godard in his Swiss retreat, offers an accessible account of this extraordinary and fascinating artist.
