Vivre sa vie

VIVRE SA VIE (DVD)
A film by Jean-Luc Godard

Described as 'a perfect film' by Susan Sontag, Jean-Luc Godard's compelling forth feature presents 12 episodes in the life of Nana (wonderfully played by Godard's muse, Anna Karina), a young Parisian who turns to prostitution after becoming disillusioned by poverty and her failing marriage.

Stylistically innovative and boasting several of the director and star's most memorable moments, Vivre sa vie is an undiminished classic of the French New Wave by turns both playful and sad, which borrows the aesthetics of cinéma Vérité to present a captivating version of 1960s Parisian street life and pop culture.
