Godard mixes titles, unusual use of sound, and long scenes of dialog. He is brilliantly served by his wife, Anna Karina, in this film. Karina gives the girl a ring of truth and depth. Aug 11, 2008 | Full Review…

"My Life to Live" has just as much social currency today as the day it was released if its gangster trope ending lets Godard off the hook all too easy. Feb 15, 2018 | Rating: A | Full Review…
