A living Legend..he always tried to find new ways to deliver images and feelings through Cinema.. he has founded new tools to connect.. I adore his movies..he taught me a lot.
Imo the ten most influential films ever are Citizen Kane,L'Avventura, Psycho, Seven Samurai, Breathless, 8 1/2, The Godfather, Metropolis, and 2001 A Space Odyssey/The Rules of The Game.
Here is our list of the 15 greatest filmmakers of all time from around the globe (In no particular order). Last updated APR 13, 2022 One of the forerunners of the widely influential French New Wave, Jean Luc Godard is the most influential director of all time and is widely considered to be one of the greatest filmmakers of all time. His movies are characterized by jump cuts, voiceovers and long discourses on philosophical topics. Some of his movies include Breathless, Little Soldier, and Made in the U.S.A. Source: ScrollDroll
"Mistake"? There's the story of Godard in youthful days having stolen a typewriter--and his father then committing him to psychiatric observation! Who's to say what the mistake was? The interviewer, of course, is Laszlo Szabo, who not only plays in the "second film" mentioned here, but went on to play parts--all of them quite brief--in 6 more of Godard's feature films; and this little piece has the flavor of documentary flittering beside fiction, as Godard ushered these two into his cinema. In a prankish Godardian stroke, during the one odd moment Szabo appears on screen, the soundtrack mischievously mismatches the onscreen action. It feels very much like the Mozartian pratfalls he's fond of in his early films.
Wow!! Seems he try's to limit his audience on one hand just listening to him. On the other hand I think he feels the audience should be challenged by a film, & not just given a happy plot allowing them to sleepily be read some kind of bed time story.
@mrscreenwriter Short Preface: I love Godard. I have been trying to watch every movie he has made. Breathless is not his best movie. It has all the stylings of what Godard was about to accomplish, but it is far from the "best" he made.

I love how we hear the interviewer ask a question, while seeing a shot of him smiling with his mouth closed. Very Godard-eque editing there.

In a few moments I will be watching Breathless, the anticipation is killing me.
Almost breathless you might say.
IMO Breathless is one of the 4 or 5 most influential films in the history of cinema.
Citizen Kane, seven samurai, breathless, 8 1/2, metropolis

A very widely-shared opinion.

He looks like Dr Strangelove
so interesting to see him right after Breathless.
"I don't think cinema influences youth. We should instead let youth influence cinema to hold on to our desire."
marvelous, thanks for posting
Three years later I would say one of the 3 most influential along with Birth of a Nation and Citizen Kane
Rest In Peace
Perfecto:-X

Wasn't that Truffaut?
Interesting.

Alphaville is a great achievement 🌿🌿🌿🌿

without a doubt
Godard's style is known for being gritty and realistic. 1:01
What mistakes the interviewer is referring to ? / A quelles erreurs le journaliste fait-il référence ?

What's the source of this interview?
I've just realized you asked this 12 fkn years ago but here it is.
Reflet de Cannes by François Chalais

Wow, he looks so awkward here. Compare this to his rants at the 1968 Cannes Film Festival.
Il venait de sortir A bout de souffle, et dans son refus de plaire et sa volonté de contradiction il y avait déjà tout son cinéma
GODARD TARANTINO
He cheated on his ex ex wife?
I know it's late but does it matter??.... It's none our business
I read another comment where it said that he cheated and treated bad his beautiful wife Anna Karina.
