    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…

    I live for Anna Karina’s cinematic cigarette drags and timeless solo dance sequence here.

    Some men write poems for the women they love, some sing songs. Godard filmed a movie for her.

    Vivre Sa Vie

    é bem executado e tal, mas a coitada só larga o emprego, vira puta, sofre sofre sofre e depois morre atropelada. ao menos se ela pudesse morrer sem ter que perder os últimos dez minutos de vida ouvindo um monólogo pseudo-intelectual do outro cara...

    Interesting character study, a great lead performance, and some really cool camera and editing techniques

    Can’t blame her. Girls gotta live. But I didn’t like the faceless shots. Or the length of the guy rambling on compared to the final scene.
