Programmed February 2020

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. Discovered while working as a model by Jean-Luc Godard, the Danish-born Karina went on to become the director’s most important collaborator throughout the 1960s, exuding a relaxed charm while suggesting enigmatic depths in touchstone works like A Woman Is a Woman and Vivre sa vie . In the latter, her tear-stained face, lit by a flickering movie screen playing Dreyer’s The Passion of Joan of Arc , endures as one of the most unforgettable images of the Nouvelle Vague. Just as Karina watched Falconetti, we watch Karina, transported and entranced. Added on SUNDAY, 23 FEBRUARY 2020
