Jean-Luc Godard, the maverick French-Swiss director who revolutionised post-war cinema in Europe, died by assisted dying, his lawyer has confirmed.

The French paper Libération quoted an unnamed source close to the family who said: "He was not sick, he was simply exhausted. So he had made the decision to end it. It was his decision and it was important for him that it be known."

Was just about to post this. Glad somebody got there first and did a better job.


I think it's pretty fair to say Jean-Luc Godard won at life and death. Well played!


Also really glad to see his assisted suicide noted as an honourable end on BBC news channels. It can only be a positive.
