CinémaTuesdays in February: Carte Blanche to Agnès b: My Life to Live

CinémaTuesdays in February: Carte Blanche to Agnès b. FIAF is thrilled to invite French fashion designer Agnès b. to curate a month-long series of films that have most influenced her life and career as a designer, photographer, and, more recently, as a fashion film producer and director. Cinema plays an important role in Agnès b.’s world. Her love of black and white films and the casual elegance of New Wave cinema are reflected in the straight lines of her classic designs and fashion films, which all pay homage to the cinematic art form. My Life to Live Vivre sa vie Tuesday, February 21, 2012 12:30 & 4pm Jean-Luc Godard, 1962. B&W. 85 min. With Anna Karina, Sady Rebbot, André S. Labarthe In French with English subtitles Godard’s fourth film is also perhaps his most moving film. Godard continues his passionate wrestling with (and deconstruction of) cinema and capitalism. Brilliantly shot by longtime collaborator Raoul Coutard, the film chronicles the life of a young streetwalker in Paris whose daydreams contrast with the squalor of her reality. Review ’Jean-Luc Godard's fourth film is a heartfelt, headstrong attempt to push his own concept of a deconstructed cinema even further into the stratosphere.’ —Time Out New York
