'Vivre sa vie' has been my favorite film for a long time and I do not feel the need to write a long review explaining why I like this film so much. Instead, I would just like to say that for me, there are two ways of watching it: with subtitles and without subtitles. As I do not speak French, I need to use subtitles to follow the story, but I also like to watch it without the subtitles. Mainly because of its brilliant cinematography. The camera angles, the sets, the use of music/sounds and Anna Karina's undeniable beauty make this film interesting to watch even without paying any attention to the story at all. That said, the story is not worth any less than the visual beauty of the film.
This film is absolutely brilliant. Weird characters and the fact that there's NO-THING really going on made this film interesting for me. Other people might find this film pointless and totally boring, but for me it's a treasure. I don't know anything about Shakespeare's 'King Lear' so I can't say if this film has anything to do with the actual play at all. This is exactly the kind of film that makes you think. After seeing this film you wonder what did the director want to tell me? Because clearly this film is made to communicate with the audience, it's an expression of the film maker's ideas, views and emotions. Or in other words... IT'S ART! The same goes to another Godard film 'Numero Deux'.
'Nowhere' is definitely among my favorite movies of all time with the likes of '2001: A Space Odyssey', 'Eraserhead', Pierrot le Fou' and others. It's sad to see that many people have misunderstood it, but then again, it's certainly not meant for everyone. People think it's thrash, just a fun flick like 'The Evil Dead' or the Troma movies. This is actually ART made to look like thrash, because it brings the audience closer to the characters. In my opinion the movie is totally impressive, both both visually and thematically. I love the dark and apocalyptic feel to it, this definitely looks like the generation that's gonna witness the end of everything. Araki is a MASTER and 'Nowhere' is his MASTERPIECE.
