In the theater, Nana watched "The Passion of Joan of Arc". The rent of 2,000 francs turned her life upside down. By letting this cause continue, she suffered and became herself by suffering, "God knows how to lead us. Where to go, but we know the way we should go." During the interrogation in the police station, Nana cried, "I am another person." The middle narrative is omitted, and the situation is increasingly difficult because of the money. "A plate is a plate, a man is a man, and life is life", choosing, and then being responsible for it, I see the shadow of existentialism. Godard presents, does not explain.

Vivre Sa Vie quotes

  • The Philosopher: Do you know anyone who knows right off what he loves? No. When you're 20, you don't know. All you know are bits and pieces. You grasp at experience. At that age, "I love" is a mixture of many things. To be completely at one with what you love takes maturity. That means searching. That's the truth of life.

  • Jeune homme: I'd like to go to the Louvre.

    Nana: No, I don't like looking at paintings.

    Jeune homme: Why? Art and beauty are life!

    Nana: I adore you.
