Vivre Sa Vie - Jean-Luc Godard

I went to Film Forum yesterday for the final day of their Godard week. I was so happy I did because I fell in love with Vivre Sa Vie. Tragic. Real. Unexpected. Lovely.

The entire experience was inspiring -- from the latte I sipped before the movie to Anna Karina's performance to the flow of music versus noise in the composition of the film. I was wholly enamored. J'adore! Or at least I think that's how you say it in French.

Check out one of my favorite scenes, where Nana (Karina's character) dances out of boredom, a need to feel alive and not succumb to the mundaneness of her situation.




Oddly enough, this Myspace site has the entire film on this page... but I recommend you get a higher quality version from your local rental or video store.
