Allé, salut poupée

Hello, meet Anna Karina. She's a French actress, born in Denmark in 1940. Anna moved to Paris when she was eighteen years old and became a rising fashion model. Guess who she met there? Pierre Cardin and Coco Chanel, lucky girl. Her first film appearance in 1959 led to a fabulous career as an actress. And she has some great great photo's.

This is the famous dance scene from "Bande a Part" (1964), the music you hear is the lovely song "Dance with me" from Nouvelle Vague:



And here's another clip from the same movie. I love the voice, the way it is filmed, the feeling of freedom. It's so typical a French movie.


And here's a really nice one too. This is a scene from the movie "Anna" (1967) with Serge Gainsbourg. It's so catchy!
