According to French media reports, "French New Wave goddess" Anna Karina died of cancer in a hospital in Paris at the age of 79.
The French minister of culture issued a eulogy on social networks, saying: "Today, French cinema is orphaned. It lost one of its legends. "
There is no doubt that Anna Karina is a legend of French cinema!
And her life is even more legendary.
Some people say: Happy families are always strikingly similar, and unhappy families always have their own misfortunes.
Karina's childhood is one of the unfortunate.
Shortly after Karina was born, her father abandoned her mother and daughter, and her mother was busy with the clothing store business and had no time to take care of her.
When she was a baby, she was thrown to her grandparents and then fostered to another family, and after several turns, she did not live with her mother again until she was seven years old.
However, she lived with her mother and her mother's boyfriend and did not feel the warmth of family. After entering puberty, she began to become rebellious, often quarreling with her mother and running away from home.
In order to be independent as soon as possible, Karina dropped out of school at the age of 14 to work, working as a bar singer, elevator lady, clerk, model, actor and so on.
When she was 17 years old, she had a big fight with her mother, and Karina once again ran away from home and came to Paris alone to start another part of her life.
Talking about her childhood, Karina once confessed that she was "desperately eager to be loved" at that time.
As the master of psychology Adler said, "Lucky people are cured by childhood all their lives; unfortunate people are cured of childhood all their lives." "
Perhaps it is the misfortune of Karina's childhood that will make her wander and wander in the world of emotions in this life.
When she first arrived in Paris, she was still an unknown little model, but when she was selected for a role, she was photographed by the newcomer director Godard.
Because of nude scenes, Karina rejected Godard's debut film, Exhausted. Later, Godard approached her again and asked her to play his heroine.
This time Karina did not refuse, and the two generously talked about love.
She was 20 years old, and during the filming of "A Woman is a Woman," she married Godard. Later, it was with this film that she was named the queen of the Berlin Film Festival.
During this marriage, Karina was almost Godard's only heroine.
Unfortunately, this vigorous love did not beat the seven-year itch, and seven years later, they ended up in divorce.
After the divorce, they collaborated on many films such as "Little Soldier", "Do Whatever You Want", "Outlaw", "Alvar City" and "Pierrot the Mad", which stunned the world film world in the "New Wave" film style innovation movement and left a romantic mark.
Anna Karina became the "French New Wave Goddess" and also Godard's "Muse".
However, after experiencing countless quarrels, divisions, and tears, they have long been human and cannot go back to the beginning.
After Godard, Karina married three more times, but these three marriages were not as vigorous as her and Godard's.
The longest of these was Dennis Berry, who accompanied her through her life, and they lived together for 12 years, divorced and separated in 1994, which was also Karina's last marriage.
According to Godard's own memoirs, the relationship is summed up as follows: "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 film has completely separated us." I think she's always regretted not being able to go to Hollywood to make movies, and maybe she'd be happier if she could. "
In her later years, Karina said in an interview: "Godard is a genius, he always keeps his books in his hands, or suddenly disappears." No one can be like him. He couldn't stand still, he was always doing something. "
"Honestly, married life is really not easy. I was young and didn't know anything to maintain a good relationship with him. During the Storm of May, everything changed and everything fell into thin air. I performed Walker Schrondorff's work in Germany, and when I returned to Paris, nothing was the same as before..."
Everyone said that Karina's most memorable person was Godard, who had loved each other and achieved each other, perhaps regretting it, but in the end they came to a different side.
Some people say that love has never been a handful, and there is no perfect love.
In a marriage relationship, it is more necessary to adapt to each other and run into each other. Only by adapting to each other's existence, understanding what the other party means to themselves, and knowing what they want most, may be able to cherish each other more and love each other until they are old.
Looking back on Karina's life, she has been displaced in a world that longs for love, but she may have overlooked that she was also deeply loved by that man.
May the love she has in another world be eternal.
