HCC film professors Marie Westhaver and Mike Giuliano devote this podcast episode to French director Jean-Luc Godard, whose recent death was such a great loss. Godard's first feature film, "Breathless" (1960), qualifies as a landmark in film history. Along with such contemporaries as Francois Truffaut, Claude Chabrol, Eric Rohmer and Jacques Rivette, Godard was part of a movement known as the French New Wave. It was as if a breath of fresh air was brought to filmmaking in terms of subject matter and style. Godard remained a prolific and provocative film director until well into the 21st century.
