Until the end, Godard remained an outspoken polemicist and cinematic innovator, with later works like Film Socialisme (2010) and Goodbye to Language (2014) toying with 3D, camera-phone footage and even subtitles. His oeuvre changed course several times, from his first features offering up sly pop-art homages to Hollywood movies to his overtly political films of the late 1960s and ’70s, to his experiments with video and fragmented narratives in the late ’70s and ’80s, to his autobiographical and historical montage movies of the ’90s and beyond. Throughout a career that spanned more than half a century, Godard directed nearly 70 features, documentaries, shorts and works for television.
All of Godard’s films were, in a sense, about film.

Indeed, Godard’s major contribution to cinema was his idea that a movie was both the story it was telling and the story of the movie itself - how it was made and how the viewer apprehended it. Using jump cuts, nods to the camera and other meta-fictional devices, Breathless constantly interrupted and commented on the story as it was happening. The Paris-set crime caper, which starred Jean Seberg and Jean-Paul Belmondo, forever changed the course of movies and heralded the arrival of cinematic modernism.
