britishfilminstitute: “Photography is truth. The cinema is truth twenty-four times per second.” - Filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard. Born 3 December 1930, Paris. One of the most autobiographical of auteurs, whose pictures are littered with references to films, books, compositions and paintings, as well as the people, places and political ideals that have shaped his personality and psyche. No wonder critic Richard Roud declared, “there is the cinema before Godard and the cinema after Godard”, while Susan Sontag compared him to Pablo Picasso and Arnold Schoenberg as one of “the great culture heroes of our time” for not just being an iconoclast, but also for being the “deliberate ‘destroyer’ of cinema”. #bornonthisday #jeanlucgodard #quoteoftheday #cinema #frenchnewwave -- source link
