      This is a love letter

      A complete proletarian, with no car, no house, no family, no career, and a beautiful skin, and Anna, who has gradually become a prostitute, makes people feel pity. Godard's perspective focuses more on the depiction of his wife's facial expressions and eyes. Even if the conversation with the philosopher in it makes people think about the existential philosophy of Sartre or Beauvoir, but as a man, a sentimental animal, I see more love letters from a man who is passionately in love to his...

      freewheeling desire pursuit

      Going for Godard's "Exhausted" and "As You Want", it was initially the faded feeling of the posters. It was only discovered that the two heroines were very short-lived. Saves a lot of shading.
      The music at the beginning seems to run through the whole work, the long passages have a sense of urgency, and the depression came in early. The classic phrase "lending myself to her and burying my head in myself", combined with the two black backs of the head at the beginning of the film,...

      I'm so dumb that I can't remember the lines: You say you love me, but you don't consider me special. I hardly love you anymore, but I still consider you special. / -You like being special? -Yes. -Why? -No reason. / Art and beauty are...

      I like it very much. Godard mentioned in an interview that his ideal of shooting is to arrive at the form of drama in the process of continuous recording. He identifies with Renoir, and I think he also inherits Renoir's approach to the perfect integration of drama into a naturalistic narrative process. The camera has been trying to recognize the existence value of the heroine, who is not a prostitute, but an existential prostitute. The heroine strives to incorporate the rationality of...

      This is a satire of an obscure woman who loves fantasies. Still the same problem, great idea, but too...

      Fragments of "The Passion of Joan of Arc" - the protruding face on the shoulders, the poster of "Jules and Jim", the dialogue and the elimination of the ambient sound that block and even turn away from the audience to complement the protagonist's thinking and leave a gap for the audience . Conversations with philosophers, Edgar Allan Poe's story, and sudden death after falling in love and wanting to get rid of them are all perfectly integrated into the film's narrative atmosphere. Of course,...

      The prostitutes who live on dialysis, whose fate is as thin as paper, can't stand such persistent questioning. The sense of form is stronger, it is fragmented, and it is fully...

    Movie quotes

    • Nana: Do you really think I could get in films?

      Journaliste: I think so. Look, I brought you a composite sheet. I'd like to do something like that.

      Nana: What's this for?

      Journaliste: You send it out to people in films, and a few days later maybe they call you.

      Nana: I'm a bit shy about undressing.

      Journaliste: Just a little. What can it hurt?

    • Premier client: How about it?

      Nana: Okay.

      Premier client: Is this the place?

      Nana: You've been here before?

      Premier client: Yes.

      Nana: Yes, it is.

    • Yvette: Life is cruel. I'd like to get away, escape to the tropics.

      Nana: Escape is a pipe dream.

      Yvette: Why?

      Nana: It just is.
