Description

Vivre Sa Vie:
This portrayal of the seedy underbelly of Parisian life in the early 60s is hailed as a seminal film in the French New Wave. Goddard directs his ten wife, Anna Karina, as Nana S, a shop girl with ambitions of becoming an actress who instead drifts into a life of prostitution with dramatic consequences.

Masculin Feminin:
Goddard anchors his depiction of French political upheaval in the 60s, opposition to the Vietnam war and an emerging youth culture to the oddball relationship between Paul (Jean-Pierre Leaud) and Madeleine (Chantal Goya) representing an impossible struggle between idealism and consumerism.

Two of Three Things I Know About Her:
The 'Her' in the title refers to Paris, which forms the gritty backdrop Godard uses to expound his theory that to live in Paris at that time one had to prostitute oneself to survive. The film centres around Juliette (Marina Vlady), a housewife who spends one day a week selling her body on the streets in an attempt to escape her drab suburban existence.
