Jean-Luc Godard Death
On the morning of this Tuesday, September 13, the death of the iconic Franco-Swiss filmmaker Jean Luc Godard was reported at the age of 91 and according to the first reports, the last star of the “Nouvelle Vague” underwent assisted suicide because simply it was already exhausted.
It was through a statement in which the wife of the famous director, also a filmmaker Anne-Marrie Miéville, reported that Jean Luc Gordad died at his home in Switzerland surrounded by the people closest to his inner circle, it was also reported that It is not planned to hold a massive funeral and it was detailed that the remains of the creator of works such as “La Chinoise” and “Living your life” will be cremated in privacy.
“He died peacefully at home, surrounded by those closest to him,” reads the statement signed by Jean Luc Godard’s wife.
It is worth mentioning that the French newspaper Libération was the first to break the news and included the testimony of a close friend of the filmmaker’s family, who preferred to keep his identity secret and assured that Jean Luc Godard did not have any type of illness, but rather he resorted to assisted suicide because he was simply exhausted by his old age.
“He was not sick, he was simply exhausted. He had made the decision to finish. It was his decision and it was important for him to know it” can be read in the newspaper where it was also revealed that the director’s family’s original plan was to wait at least 48 hours before giving the news, however, this information leak would have forced them to confirm the news through a statement.
