French New Wave cinema pioneer Jean-Luc Godard died today at the age 91. Godard, alongside a handful of other directors, blew up the conventional film form and created the idea of a filmmaker as an auteur. He made an immediate impression with his debut 1960 film “Breathless.” His work inspired other seminal filmmakers including Martin Scorecese and Quentin Tarantino.
