| Starring Anna Karina
One of the most iconic faces of the French New Wave, the late Anna Karina was a movie star for a new era of cinema, embodying the free-spirited insouciance, effortless cool, and fierce intelligence that defined the movement. This eight-film tribute gathers seven of her revolutionary collaborations with Jean-Luc Godard, as well as a controversial period piece directed by Jacques Rivette.

Few images come closer to defining the essence of the French New Wave than Karina’s tear-stained face, lit by the flickering light of a movie screen, in Godard’s tragic character study Vivre sa vie. And in Rivette’s The Nun, she delivers a wrenching performance as a woman who rebels against the strictures of convent life. |
