though i saw it quite some time ago, i enjoyed a woman is a woman.
i also saw a band of outsiders.

tonite, i saw- My Life To Live [A Film in 12 scenes] (1962) – not knowing what to expect.
it was quite slow and had a somber feel throughout.

my favorite scene centered around the theme of articulating an idea.
in this scene, godard includes the story of the 3 musketeers:
when we think, we are crushed.
the lesson: thinking kills.

nana, the main character, also contemplates on the theme of “responsibility”
i smoke – i am responsible
i am sad – i am responsible
(the list continues)…
at the end of the list, Nana says:
i forget i am responsible.

reading the subtitles allowed me to enjoy the absurdity of this -
we are, in fact, responsible for forgetting.

yes, this too is part of our existance.
—i misspelled existence, but spelled existance correctly— i am responsible
