Product Description

Three films from the 1960s directed by French New Wave pioneer Jean-Luc Godard. In 'Vivre Sa Vie' (1962), provincial shop assistant Nana (Anna Karina, Godard's then-wife) decides after separating from her husband that she wants to become an actress. However, while watching the silent film classic 'The Passion of Joan Arc', all Nana's ambition seeps away, and she ends up working the streets of Paris as a prostitute. 'Masculin Féminin' (1966), Godard's seventh feature, is a study of mid-1960s French youth. Paul (Jean-Pierre Léaud) is a young man fresh from military service who falls for aspiring pop star Madeleine (Chantal Goya), who gets him a job on the magazine where she works. But he soon becomes more interested in his left-wing activities and his relationship with his two female flatmates (Marlene Jobert and Catherine-Isabelle Duport) than he is in Madeleine. Watch out for a brief appearance by Brigitte Bardot. 'Two or Three Things I Know About Her...' (1966) is a sociological study of Paris and prostitution, focusing particularly on the life of housewife Juliette (Marina Vlady). By going on the game one day a week in order to buy some of life's little luxuries, Juliette hopes to eventually escape the grimness of high-rise suburbia.

2.0 out of 5 stars Godard: The 60s Collection - Vivre Sa Vie 9 Feb 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
Godard's 'Vivre Sa Vie' (one of three films in this set) is, in my opinion, one of the most important pieces on cinema ever made. It is a remarkably intelligent film that rewards repeated viewing and is a masterclass in cinema. It is therefore very sad that this film should be presented in this collection in such a poor quality, even though the fact that it is digitally remastered is highlighted on the DVD cover. Vivre Sa Vie, as presented here suffers from light streaks along each side of the image, high contrast, unsharp tableaux captions and a crackly sound track. I do not have a fetish for 'quality' however the quality of the Criterion blu-ray is so immeasurably better than this, it is practically a different film. I do not own a blu-ray player and I do not really wish to invest in one, all I want is an effective DVD transfer, keeping the sensitive qualities of Godard's film, however this simply is not it. By the way, the other films are much more reasonable DVD presentations of Masculin:Femanin and 2 or 3 Things...

5.0 out of 5 stars Godard 12 Feb 2012
3 groundbreaking films with a 60 page booklet. Can be watched over and over again and be enjoyed as much as the first time. Godard is a genius of cinema.
