Anna (France 1967)




What can you say about this mod musical fantasy starring the delicious Anna Karina and featuring Marianne Faithful and Serge Gainsbourg (Gainsbourg also wrote the songs)? It's sort of wobbly in the narrative- but hey, it's the 1960s. My guess is it was hard to stay on task when you were shoving in all the great photography and ideas that went into this. Silly and light, the whole thing is enormously enjoyable. I searched for years after learning of the existence of this. What I've got is a very good copy with nice image quality and good subtitling. It's ripped from a Japanese VHS apparently. How do you say "fun" in french?
