Original Anna Karina Movie Posters

Anna Karina movie posters represent the visual face of the French New Wave at its most romantic, most radical, and most cinematically self-conscious — authentic original prints for the films of Jean-Luc Godard's great muse and collaborator, the actress whose combination of vulnerability, dancing eyes, and natural spontaneity made her unlike anyone else working in world cinema in the 1960s. Original French grandes and affiches for Karina's six Godard films are among the rarest items in New Wave collecting. Vivre Sa Vie (1962) — Godard's study of a young woman's path to prostitution, shot in a Bressonian documentary style — produced a poster as quietly extraordinary as the film: Karina's face in profile, the image stripped of everything except what the film requires. Purchase an original grande for Vivre Sa Vie and you're acquiring a genuine rarity of European cinema art. Bande à Part (1964) — with Karina and the improvisational energy of Godard at his most playful — produced campaign materials that capture the giddy, film-loving spirit of the New Wave more directly than almost any other poster of the era. Pierrot le Fou (1965), with Karina and Jean-Paul Belmondo, was their last full collaboration and produced some of the most visually rich grandes of the entire Godard filmography. Karina's work outside the Godard films — with Jacques Rivette, Luchino Visconti, and in her own directorial projects — is also represented in this collection.
