French Cinema Legend Jean-Luc Godard Dies At 91
Jean-Luc Godard, the father of the French New Wave and one of the most influential filmmakers of the 20th century, died "peacefully at home" Tuesday aged 91, his family said. The legendary maverick blew up the conventions of cinema in the 1960s, shooting his gangster romance Breathless on the streets of Paris with a hand-held camera, even using a shopping trolley for panning shots.
