Anna

Je suis la fille que l'on colle, sur les Harley Davidson,
Les BMW, les camions 16 tonnes, je suis la roller girl...
In 1967, director Pierre Koralnik created Anna for French TV, combining Jean-Luc Godard’s playful New Wave with Jacques Demy's colourful musical romanticism (Les parapluies de Cherbourg). The result is a fascinating and slightly absurdist look at the pre-1968 pop culture and zeitgeist of Paris. For a long time the film was impossible to find, but now you can once again enjoy Serge Gainsbourg’s yé yé sounds and a cast that includes Anna Karina, Jean-Claude Brialy, Eddy Mitchell and Marianne Faithfull – not to mention the legendary French singer-composer himself.
