Jean Luc Godard Professional Career, Achievements, And Films
During his young age when he began his career as a film critic for the influential magazine Cahiers du Cinema, Godard criticized mainstream French cinema’s “Tradition of Quality”, which emphasized established convention over innovation and experimentation. In response, he and like-minded critics began to make their own films, challenging the conventions of traditional Hollywood in addition to French cinema.
Godard initially received global appreciation for his 1960 feature Breathless, helping to establish the New Wave movement. His work made use of frequent homages and references to film history and often expressed his political views. He was an avid reader of existential and Marxist philosophy. Just after the New Wave, his politics were less radical and his later on films were about representation and human conflict from a humanist, and a Marxist perspective.
In year 2002 Sight and Sound poll, Godard was ranked third in critics’ top ten directors of all time in history. He stated that he has to “create one of the big bodies of critical analysis of any filmmaker since the mid-twentieth century.” His work has been central to narrative theory and has “challenged both commercial narrative cinema norms and film criticism’s vocabulary.” In year 2010, Godard was awarded an Academy Honorary Award but did not attend the award ceremony.
