PARIS, Sept 13 —Film director Jean-Luc Godard, the godfather of France’s New Wave cinema, died today aged 91, French newspaper Liberation said, citing people close to the Franco-Swiss director.
Godard was among the world’s most acclaimed directors, known for such classics as Breathless and Contempt, that pushed cinematic boundaries and inspired iconoclastic directors decades after his 1960s heyday. — Reuters
