Jean-Luc Godard: Thinks over new book for next film
French and Swiss filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard is working on his latest film.
Godard has been working hard on "Le socialisme", a political story that could be ready as early as this year.
There is report that Godard is interested to direct a film adaptation of "The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million", a Holocaust-themed investigative memoir by New York Times writer Daniel Mendelsohn.
Jean-Luc Godard, one of the founding members of the Nouvelle Vague or "French New Wave", has never taken on the Holocaust directly. But many of his films, including the antiwar film "Les carabiniers", the Algerian war picture "Le petit soldat" and his most recent work, the 2004 triptych "Notre musique" deal with complex political and philosophical questions.
An unofficial French-language traile of his last work, "Le socialisme", has been released, which shows that it mixes documentary and narrative footage from countries throughout Europe, much of it with political themes.
