If you can't beat 'em, problematize 'em: Jean-Luc Godard's next movie, Goodbye to Language 3D, is shooting this summer. Has the great one embraced the technology of the multiplex? Sort of-à sa façon: Godard is jerry-rigging his own 3-D camera out of two mobile phones fitted with lenses. That's par for the course given the filmmaker's curiosity about image innovation, from Raoul Coutard's night photography in Breathless to the slow-motion studies of Sauve qui peut. As for the plot, you know better than that. Production summary excerpt: "A married woman and a single man meet. They love, they argue, fists fly... From the human race we pass to metaphor." Film Socialisme DP Fabrice Aragno returns to shoot.
