Before directing, Godard was an ethnology student and a critic for\u00a0<i>Cahiers du cin\u00e9ma<\/i>, and his approach to filmmaking reflects his interest in how cinematic form intertwines with social reality. His groundbreaking debut feature,\u00a0<i>Breathless<\/i>\u00a0is essential Godard: its strategy of merging high and low culture has been mimicked by generations of filmmakers. As the sixties progressed, Godard\u2019s output became increasingly radical, both aesthetically and politically, until 1968 when he had forsworn commercial cinema altogether, forming a leftist filmmaking collective (the Dziga Vertov Group) and making such films as\u00a0<i>Tout va bien<\/i>. Today Godard remains our greatest lyricist on historical trauma, religion, and the legacy of cinema.
