New Wave legend Jean-Luc Godard is still going strong at the ripe old age of 78 and, judging by rumours linking him to a big screen adaptation of a bestselling Holocaust memoir, has no plans to stop his auteuring magic any time soon.
Word is that Godard was taken by 'The Lost: A Search for Six of Six Million', an account by NY Times writer Daniel Mendelsohn of his attempt to find out what happened to his Polish ancestors during the Holocaust. The French/Swiss filmmaker will turn his attention to The Lost when he wraps up current project Socialisme.
Always a political filmmaker, Godard has never been afraid to tackle the tough stuff and his 2004 feature Notre Musique touches on similar themes - collective guilt and conflict - as does his anti-war pic** Les Carabiniers** (1963). **Alphaville **is about a futuristic city controlled by a giant computer, but it's very good so we thought we'd mention it.
**Socialisme **is next cab off le rank for Godard though. Check out the teaser trailer here{
