The Franco-Swiss filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, father of Nouvelle Vague, who died this Tuesday at the age of 91, resorted to assisted death, the family’s legal and tax advisor confirmed to Agence France-Presse.
“Jean-Luc Godard sought legal assistance in Switzerland for a voluntary death, as a result of multiple disabling pathologies, in accordance with the terms of the medical report,” revealed Patrick Jeanneret, thus confirming a information that had already been provided by the French newspaper Libération.
Born on December 3, 1930 in the Île-de-France region, Jean-Luc Godard is considered one of the most radical and disruptive directors in the history of cinema, known for classics such as “The Besieged” (his first feature film, in 1960), “O Desprezo” (1963), with Brigitte Bardot, and “Pedro, o Louco” (1965).
