Honestly his work inspired so many great directors like Scorsese, Coppola, Georges Lucas, De Palma... I hope he gets his flowers.

Tarantino film production company was named after one his movie too.

yep

Scenário, that was financed / to be exhibited by Arte channel (hopefully this one could be in last stages?), the other was to be called Funny Wars - he said he planned those to be his last films and then au revoir to cinema.

His last film Le Livre d'image is quite violent and fatalist, I imagine Funny Wars would deal with the theme of Ukraine/Russia inevitably.

It reminds me of the Kubrick's Napoleon we never had...

It's so sad when the greats didn't have the time to give all they had...

Now I hope we will not get greedy/cheap adaptations of what he planned to do, movies made out of his filming with cuts he wouldn't approve etc...

remakes I don't believe will happen, but there will always be tasteless biopics like the one Michel Hazanavicius did a few years ago

unlike Napoleon, Godard could continue to make films forever, as he was always reinventing his work, and in the last decades mainly he was making movies in the editing room

It's one of the most mentioned as a reference by filmakers too...

It's sad how folks will just forget about people like him who influenced generations.
