Jean-Luc Godard is cinema, its quintessence. He has just turned 91 and made more than 140 films. He is both a public figure and a man surrounded by mystery. Godard’s itinerary follows only one direction: a constant renewal. He sees the creative act as a necessary act of criticism and deconstruction. The artist reinvents himself tirelessly and inevitably destroys himself. This portrait takes us beyond the clichés of a myth that has sometimes become a charicature, to meet a man more sentimental than he seems, a man inhabited, eventually surpassed, by his art.
