Back in May 2010, when Film socialisme premiered in Cannes, Jean-Luc Godard mentioned that his next film would be Adieu au Langage (Farewell to Language) and, in November, he told Die SonntagsZeitung: "It's about a man and his wife who no longer speak the same language. The dog they take on walks then intervenes and speaks. How I'll do it, I don't yet know. The rest is simple." That translation's by Richard Brody, who has a bit more from the interview. Now JLG is talking about the film (among other things, presumably) all week long with Laure Adler on Hors-Champs on France Culture. Craig Keller, naturally, has details and a link to the program.
