Anna Karina

Thank you Travolta and Polly! Beautiful! Thanks for the article Polly; I'm glad to hear she is still performing and doing movies. As with Jane Birkin, there's nothing more gorgeous than to see a mature woman un-retouched, lines and all, laughing wholeheartedly without a care in the world.

I didn't want the post to end. I came across film stills from one of her movie, im going to try find them again and post them here...there soooo much fun.

Do any of you get associations to "The Dreamers" characters when you look at this picture? I do. The two movies and their characters are obviously verydifferent from eachother, but somehow i just get that association with this picture.
Maybe because of their colouring is similar (physical colouring, hair etc.) and both groups are 2 guys and 1 girl.
Hmm.. just my thoughts.. out loud..

well.. yes. there was a scene where they re-enacted bande a part. they even cited the film by name and there was an original scene from bande a part inserted in the dreamers (unless i'm totally wrong.. my memories are a strange thing sometimes.. ) they were so heavily influenced by the films they watched there had to be similarities, i guess.

here is the louvre-scene from the dreamers:

You're totally right!
I was at the Venice FF the year the film has been presented and Bertolucci was nearly crying while talking about his Nouvelle Vague initiation and his Godard's Devotion (in Theo-Garrel's room there's a great poster of La Chinoise and some photos from A Bout de Souffle too).


And I love those stills -especially the ones from Une Femme est Une Femme-.

I've scanned some pages from the AK's last cd booklet.
