Jean-Luc Godard was a French-Swiss film director, screenwriter, and film critic. He rose to prominence as a pioneer of the 1960s French New Wave film movement and was arguably the most influential French filmmaker of the post-war era.

Jean-Luc Godard wife

Jean-Luc was married twice to two of his leading women. He first got married to Anna Karina in 1961 and separated in 1965 and then married Anne Wiazemsky in 1967 and separated in 1979. Beginning in 1970, he collaborated personally and professionally with Anne-Marie Miéville. He lived with Miéville in the municipality of Rolle since 1978 and is described by his former wife Karina as a “recluse”.

Jean-Luc Godard children

Jean-Luc from his two marriages has not recorded any details about his children and as it stands now, it is unclear whether he has kids or not.

Jean-Luc Godard parents

Jean-Luc is the son of Odile (née Monod) and Paul Godard, a Swiss physician. His wealthy parents came from Protestant families of Franco-Swiss descent, and his mother was the daughter of Julien Monod who was a founder of the Banque Paribas. She was the great-granddaughter of theologian Adolphe Monod.

Other relatives on his mother’s side include composer Jacques-Louis Monod, naturalist Théodore Monod, pastor Frédéric Monod, and former Prime Minister and later President of Peru Pedro Pablo Kuczynski. Four years after Jean-Luc’s birth, his father moved the family to Switzerland. At the outbreak of the Second World War, Godard was in France and returned to Switzerland with difficulty.

Jean-Luc spent most of the war in Switzerland, although his family made clandestine trips to his grandfather’s estate on the French side of Lake Geneva. He attended school in Nyon, Switzerland.

Jean-Luc Godard siblings

Jean-Luc has three siblings. He is the brother of Rachel Godard, Claude Godard, and Véronique Godard. They appeared to have very little information available about them.
