Dau--film about Russian physicist Lev Landau 1908-1968
The film-maker is Khrzhanovsky
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ilya_Khrzhanovsky
Here is the Cannes Film Festival page about the Landau film ("Dau")

The latest information I have is that the film is not finished yet, or in any case not released.
Dau was Landau's nickname, the the other physicists called him. He was an interesting character---extremely brilliant and creative and perhaps a bit eccentric. It was an interesting time for Russian physics too---the 40s and 50s---Stalin---the bombs---the contrast of the sheltered life within the "Academy" compared with life outside.
Landau was awarded the 1962 physics Nobel prize for his work in condensed matter.
Does anybody know anything more about this film, or about Landau, or the director Khrzhanovsky (who won a lot of international prizes for his 2005 film "4")?
