"VIVRE SA VIE" - MOVIEHOOVIE GRADE: B+
(1st Watch; 10/12/15 - HD on HULU+)
The title means "My Life to Live". Director Jean Luc Godard played around with the film medium here in fun ways - this is French New-Wave filmmaking, where traditional rules were broken and the medium as expressionistic art was in full-force (to later be huge influences on major modern directors like Scorsese). A traditional story told through inventive shots and poetic narrative. This is a film for film school students to watch to help recognize that not every rule in the book needs to be followed to create something good. I learned a thing or two. Anna Karina is one of the most captivating film actresses of the '60s too, so that helps.
