Jean-Luc Godard is probably one of the most divisive filmmakers on the planet. You either love him or you loathe him. At 80-years-old, Godard continues to make films, but his recent work will always be completely overshadowed by his 1960s work. He and other critics from the famed Cahiers du Cinema magazine decided that they were fed up with the system and made their own movies. Godard’s first film was Breathless (1960), and its success, along with Francois Truffaut’s The 400 Blows (1959) and others, helped the movement get started.
