Clearly liked it a lot more than Breathless. At the end of the day I’m still pretty conflicted on how I feel. Like I love everything about this, the visual language, the editing, the performances, the philosophy in that 11th story. The only thing it’s missing is me giving any sort of shit about this woman. I will say, that final shot is absolutely tragic in the context of the entire film but that can’t be the only time I care about her. Ya know? Still though, I’m sure there’s a Godard for me that I’m gonna love, we’re getting closer.
In Vivre Sa Vie we get to know Nana; a woman that dreams of becoming an actress and has one man for every occasion. She believes that mankind is free and are responsible for every action and emotion, and that's a belief that is put to the test as she starts to work as a prostitute...
Vivre Sa Vie has everything I love with Godard films. The melancholy, the fantastic dialogues, the innovative camera work, the social political commentary, beautiful music, beautiful women and last, but not least; tons of references to movies, literature and philosophy. In the case of Vivre sa vie Godard is very straight forward with what he's trying to say, what existential thoughts he's trying to…
Jean-Luc Godard's Vivre Sa Vie bitterly shows the sad reality on what it's like to be a woman in a man's world.
The subject of this film: Anna Karina, Godard's own wife. She plays Nana, a young Parisian woman who leaves her unhappy marriage in an attempt to pursue a life of fame and acknowledgement. But over the course of twelve episodes, we see Nana’s spiralling descent into prostitution instead.
I liked how this film didn't treat its theme of prostitution in overly dramatic fashion; but then again, Vivre sa Vie isn't really about prostitution. This is about Nana and her search for existential truth and happiness.
Throughout its 84 minutes runtime, we are completely drawn to Nana, not just…
Some men write poems for the women they love, some sing songs. Godard filmed a movie for her.
All these people sitting around reading philosophy in cool Paris coffeeshops, cinematheques, and record stores... pure lifestyle porn. It’s a neat trick how every interior looks sexy despite the fact that they’re all drab and ugly.
insane how much more bearable godard is when he doesn't edit his films like a 12 year old boy discovering premiere pro for the first time
but unfortunately he still writes female characters like a 12 year old boy :/
