Anna Karina

Anna Karina began her acting career at the age of fourteen in Copenhagen, where she was born.

Arriving in Paris at the age of seventeen, she soon became the favorite actress of Jean-Luc Godard (whom she married shortly after) and other young authors of the Nouvelle Vague.

Retracing Anna Karina's life ("Coco Chanel gave me this name, and when she heard my name was Hanne Karine Bayer, she immediately decided it wasn't right and settled on Anna Karina") is a return to a Paris still embroiled in the Algerian War, to chance encounters with famous people in the cafés of Saint-Germain, to long walks along the boulevards, to her early work as a model and fashion designer. Then came the telegram from Jean-Luc Godard, who had spotted her in a soap commercial and offered her the lead role in his second film, Le Petit Soldat. And on set, that little note, "Je vous aime," and above all, a midnight rendezvous in a café...
The beginning of a new life.

In the following years he shot significant titles with Godard such as: Vivre sa vie, Alphaville, Une femme est une femme, Pierrot le fou, Bande à part, Made in USAHer face, the characters she played in her long career as an actress, are now part of cinema history.
