Like He’s Coming Right at You: Godard Shoots in 3D

Jean-Luc Godard is making a 3D movie

This is shocking. Jean-Luc Godard is still alive?

I'm not surprised that he loves 3D, but I'm not really kidding about his being alive. Although I never read an obituary, I really just assumed he died long ago. The last time he created a film rated 7.5 or higher was 46 years ago, and I probably haven't thought about him as an active filmmaker since I was in high school.

His top seven films at IMDb were made from 1960-1966, at the rate of exactly one each year

(7.99) - Vivre Sa Vie (1962)
(7.90) - Breathless (1960)
(7.89) - Band of Outsiders (1964)
(7.69) - Contempt (1963)
(7.59) - Pierrot le Fou (1965)
(7.59) - Masculin Féminin (1966)
(7.49) - A Woman Is a Woman (1961)

My favorite Godard film, Alphaville, was made during that same period, when Godard was in his 30s.
