Twelve episodic tales in the life of a Parisian woman and her slow descent into prostitution.
Intense
and intricate tale of a downward spiral, all told straightforwardly in
chapters and in an almost exhilarated style, enhanced by Anna Karina's
marvelously convincing and mesmerizing performance is arguably one of
Godard's greatest masterpieces.
Maltin***: "Complex, fascinating 12-chapter portrait of a prostitute..., told in a documentary style. Probing look at the manner in which women and men view one another - and a celluloid valentine to Karina, upon whose mere presence Godard seems to be transfixed."
