His masterpiece 'Day for Night' (1973) is a love letter to cinema itself, depicting the magic and chaos of film production through the eyes of a director making a movie.

'Sunset Boulevard' (1950) is a noir exploration of Hollywood's dark underbelly, examining how cinema destroys and obsesses those within its grasp.

Throughout his career, particularly in works like 'Pierrot le Fou' and 'Contempt,' Godard constantly deconstructs the language and apparatus of cinema itself as his central theme.
