Jean luc godard : The Poetry in cinema

Known as the pioneer of the French New wave , Jean luc godard basically changed the way films were made. And the purpose of making movies.
While at that era Hollywood movies were all about subjects like Morality and love and sometimes human nature , The French New wave movies were made for the sake of cinema itself. And with no doubt Jean luc godard was the master... No I correct myself ... He was the leader of that time.

beside rewriting the language of cinema , Jean luc godard is also one of the most influential directors of all time. From Bernardo Bertolucci to Martin scorsese and Quentin tarantino they were all influenced by the french leader , whether it's about the fashion or the shots or the story-line , something in their work is influenced by Jean luc godard.

His best movies are:

Breathless(À bout de souffle)

The thought of creating a list focusing on Godard’s innovative film techniques without showcasing Breathless is like having a Catholic mass without communion. Many film critics and theorists have claimed this is not only one of the greatest films of the French New Wave, but its most defining. Daring, exciting and without limits, Breathless changed the rules for what is acceptable in filmmaking. (From tasteofcinema)

from the acting to the jump cuts to the storyline to actors talking into the camera . It invented a new genre.

Pierrot le fou

none-linear storytelling , and massive use of colors makes it one of the best.

My life to live

although it's black and white , the lighting in this movie is fascinating.

contempt

a story about a filmmaker in the modern cinema.

band of outsiders

a pulp story and really joyful.
