His latest film,

The Image Book

, won a special Palme d'Or at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, but it is not his final film.

Jean-Luc Godard, 90 years old and a figure of the New Wave, is currently working on two scenarios… and “goodbye cinema”.

The director of

A bout de souffle

et du

Mépris

has indeed announced his future retirement during a virtual interview on Tuesday for the Kerala International Film Festival: “I am ending my life as a filmmaker, my life as a director, by finishing these two scenarios.

Then I'll say goodbye to the movies.

"

The two projects in question are 

Scenario

, slated for broadcast on Arte, and

Funny Wars

, in which the filmmaker has shown excerpts from his inspirational and preparatory work.

Note that several of his masterpieces are on Netflix, a good way for new generations to discover a sacred monster of French cinema.
