Who is Jean-Luc Godard from Flashback: A Brief History of Film and what is their importance?

Jean-Luc Godard was considered the most radical innovator of the New Wave filmmakers in the 1960s. He made at least two movies a year during the 1960s, always pushing the parameter of film art. His greatest fans were highbrow critics and intellectuals. Goddard often worked without a script, allowing his actors to improvise as they went along.
