Jean-Luc Godard is a Franco-Swiss film critic, screenwriter and director. He became known as a pioneer in the French New Wave movement of the 1960s and arguably the most influential French filmmaker of the post-war era. According to AllMovie, his work "revolutionized the form of cinema" through his experiment with storytelling, continuity, sound and camera. Early in his career as a film critic for the influential magazine Cahiers du Cinéma, Godard criticized the "Tradition of Quality" of French orthodox cinema, which emphasized the convention of New and experimental has been established. In response, he and like-minded critics began making their own films, in spite of mainstream Hollywood conventions beyond French cinema. Godard received worldwide acclaim for the first time with the 1960 movie Breathless, helping to establish the New Wave movement.
