"Vivre sa Vie is not a film about “prostitution,” as the advocates of sweeping generalizations would have it. Nor is it even a film about a prostitute; it’s a film about Anna Karina trying to play a prostitute. Godard’s use of distance is clearly the reverse of its role in Brecht: here prostitution is the thing removed. . . . Our attention and our tenderness are directed to the person of Nana in the full measure to which she plays at prostitution, and to which she gives of herself to herself, having attained the sovereign liberty of the actress."
