Mar 17, 2008 - Probably the most effective use of subjective camera I have seen EVER. And just compare this to Tarantino's copy in Pulp Fiction - Uma is nice, but she doesn't quite live up to Anna. And she's not Danish :)

Mar 20, 2008 - does anyone know the name of this song???

Mar 22, 2008 - Could you elaborate why this is "the most effective use of subjective camera" you have ever seen?

netsR0T Says:

Mar 22, 2008 - :) Thanks for the question! Look at 1:15 to 1:40, a "classic subjective camera" (as in "Lady in the Lake"), when it's Nana's perspective, her look into the world: a rather frozen one, that illustrates just how desparate/hopeless she is, beyond this "happy dance". Watching the film once, probably doesn't convey this, but watching it a second time does - putting quite some chill into this scene, I thought. Would you agree?

Jun 2, 2008 - no, actually it was on odile (also played by karina) in 'bande a part'. when uma was sturggling with the scene in rehearsal, quentin apparently showed her the bande apart clip in her trailer, and she immediately got it after watching. his produxtion company is called 'bande apart' after it.

Jul 12, 2008 - Next to all sorts of intellectual concerns one of the simplest and most direct questions Godard raises consciously in his early films is if one has to feel guilty to draw such an high percentage of the overall pleasure of movies or scenes by watching a gorgeous woman "do her thing". But he directs his question towards us as much as towards the fictional character, who acts as if being watched and here and then reacts, but sometimes forgets. Early Godard is the most audience-respecting director.

Sep 21, 2008 - This scene is a gem. oh, Nana. What's the title of song which starts from jukebox? thx

hustlenflo22 Says:

Oct 17, 2008 - I understand that this is from the soundtrack of the film (which I cannot find to download) and that the composer is Michel Legrand, but does anyone know the name of the track / where to get it?

brecno Says:

Oct 21, 2008 - It's a song named Pop Porno, search for it on youtube

aaavalon Says:

Oct 28, 2008 - I think it's called "swim, swim, swim"

samlejerk Says:

Nov 14, 2008 - To all dear collectors : Anna's, Legrand's, Godard's fans, it seems there is no vinyl nor a CD including this track. I just wonder if it's not (in the vocal part) "Swing, Swing, Swing" instead of "Swim, Swim, Swim" but I'm not sure. I will post a comment as soon as I have more informations. Regards.

Nov 26, 2008 - Hmm...I see what you did there Mr. Tarrantino.

Nov 28, 2008 - On peut dire que dans cette scène, en caméra objective, on voit Nana heureuse en dançant, mais en caméra subjective, on voit la mesure à laquelle Nana est opprimimée et limitée par les murs, exploitée par les proxénètes... C'est quand même à la fois triste et rassurant. Vive l'art de Godard et Karina !
