In the town of Rolle, located on the northwest side of Lake Geneva, Jean-Luc Godard, one of the most subversive directors of the 20th century, put his own end credits in the residence where he lived.
According to the report of the reputable Liberation, o Godard chose to proceed with euthanasia, a procedure legally permitted in Switzerland that took place at his home.
The newspaper cites statements made by the family’s legal advisor, Patrick Zanere who noted that “Godard decided to proceed with euthanasia, which is legally allowed in Switzerland in case of multiple disabling conditions. He wasn’t sick, he was just exhausted.”
Unpredictable, subversive and a man who hated compromise, Godard decided to leave as he wanted and not as others would have wanted.
According to the Swiss news agency ATS who contacted the director’s partner Anne-Marie Mieville the creator of the iconic “Out of breath” died peacefully and surrounded by his loved ones.
He left because that’s what the man who started as a film critic, before moving behind the camera, wanted. changing French cinema forever. Brigitte Bardot was fascinated by his mentality and Jean-Paul Belmondo was anointed a star, starring in the films of the provocative director, who emerged as the main exponent of the Nouvelle Vague movement, going against traditional cinema, questioning the rules and codes of Hollywood.
His far-left views, flirtation with existentialism and personal beliefs did not change until the end of his life, which was to be written in Switzerland. Even this he decided to “direct” himself, as his friends would say.
