According to foreign media reports, the iconic actress of French New Wave cinema, Anna Karina, died of cancer in Paris on December 14 at the age of 79. The news shocked and mourned countless fans, and as the most iconic actress of the last century, Anna Karina was the film initiator of countless people.
Anna Karina had two major labels in her life. The first is the goddess of the French New Wave film movement, who redefined the writing tradition of the screen goddess with her beautiful appearance and unconventional roles; the second is the muse of the famous director Jean Luc-Godard, who married in 1961 and the marriage lasted until 1965. They collaborated on a total of seven films during their marriage, including "Women are Women" and won her the Berlin Film Festival laurels. Others include "Little Soldier" (1960), "Do Whatever You Want" (1962), "Extralegal" (1964), etc., all of which are immortal classics in film history. It should be said that this series of films constituted Godard's first "period".
She can often be seen in the films of Godard, Jacques Rivitt and Annes Vada. Anna Karina has been married four times in her life, and apart from the first one being widely known with Godard, the other three are very low-key. Godard summed up the relationship by saying, "Karina and I were very much in love, sharing each other's strengths and putting up with each other's shortcomings, but in the end, I can only say that the movie completely separated us." ”
