• Anna Karina Goes West

    Alert all French New Wave–loving Californians: Anna Karina is coming to Los Angeles! The annual L.A. festival of new French cinema, City of Lights, City of Angels, going on now through April 25, is showing a new digital restoration of Godard’s Pierrot le fou on Friday, and star Karina will be in attendance. In preparation for the event, Karina spoke on the phone with critic David Ehrenstein for an L.A. Weekly feature, in which she talks about the making of that now iconic film, as well as her first, frank encounter with Godard, when she was a Chanel model and aspiring actress. Read Ehrenstein’s “Sexual Politics: Godard and Me,” and get ticket info for City of Lights, City of Angels here.

    Apparently Ms. Karina couldn't fly out of Paris to attend the ColCoa because of the volcanic eruption in Iceland. It's a pity. She would have been a wonderful resource person to talk about the French New Wave. After all , she is considered by many to be the feminine icon of that great movement. She was also supposed to accept a lifetime achievement award from the Mill Valley Film Festival organizers. She was due to receive it last year but she had to postpone her trip then because of a non-life threatening injury.

    Wow, I wish I could have gone to this. It sounds amazing! Although a pity Anna Karina couldn't make it.
