Finally


Finally IMDB has added Godard's upcoming masterpiece. A lot of people seems to be excited about Tarantino's next flick or Johnny Depp's next acting role, but me - I'm excited about Godard's next film. He seems to be avoided by today's audiences, they see him as dated (or is he unknown to them). Just look at his page, there are 1-2 posts per week - there are more posts on Uwe Boll's page.

Every edit is a lie. - Jean-Luc Godard

Yes,at last,just when I thought no details were ever going to appear.I am excited,the trailer looks as if it may be vintage Godard,but it won`t premiere until Cannes next year so it is a very long wait.

>>but it won`t premiere until Cannes next year

Where did you hear that? It seems unlikely that this movie's trailer should appear online more than a year prior to its actual premier.

A report in screen daily.com (13-5-09). Imdb also gives the French release date as 2010.It is a long wait,but it seems to be Godard`s longest,most important film for years and he is probably not yet completely satisfied with it.

I tried to get it listed as early as last November when the first pictures surfaced on the Vega Film website. However, IMDb clearly wasn't having it.

Boban_fio, how can a film be classified a masterpiece when it still awaits completion?

reply

Because Godard has yet to make a bad film, perhaps?

I get excited about Godard movies not because he has never made a 'bad' one - a perfection angle doesn't interest me that much - but his use of cinema to explore ideas and to explore them in new ways (intellectually and cinematically) is what I find exciting. Remember, he has often said his films are not to 'entertain' - that's a shocking idea to modern mainstream cinema goers. Yet where would we be if artists in other media took the same approach as the 'tried-and-trusted' of Hollywood et al.

I don't want to suggest no-one else tries to innovate and engage intellectually rather than entertain. But I can't think of anyone who does it on the scale of Godard. The only movie this year so far I can put in a similar category is Bela Tarr's 'Turin Horse.'
