Trailer for Jean-Luc Godard's "Socialisme"


I know it's silly, but why does it strike me as weird that someone like Godard is still alive and making films? The director of such French classics as A bout de Souffle seems like he should be decomposing in the earth with Fellini and Bergman as I type this, instead of still actively working. Maybe it's just because his films aren't usually treated as events (ie: "BLANK: the new film from Martin Scorcese/The Coen bros/Tarantino/Tim Burton/Alfonso Cuaron/etc...) anymore, or maybe...well, honestly, I don't know. Regardless, this, erm, "trailer" (using that word loosely as this looks more like a sizzle reel) is kind of intriguing, despite the fact that it gives you nothing to go on (more on the film HERE). The vague description is intriguing, although I'm really just interested to see how Godard utilizes this video in the background of one scene.
