burning the letters

♥ Anna Karina is so delightfully pretty and wonderful!:

(The first is from Une Femme est une Femme, the second from Bande à Part)

And here’s a beautiful video of Anna singing “Sous le Soleil Exactement”:

Oh how that makes me want to be on a windy beach on a slightly overcast day, romping about in lovely clothes and with windblown hair, giggling and enjoying the wistful beauty and ephemerality of it all. ♥

It’s from Anna, a French television special from 1967, with music by Serge Gainsbourg (who also sang “Sous le Soleil Exactement.” I much prefer his version, but Anna is so charming and lovely that I quite like hers, too.) I haven’t yet had the chance to see it in its entirety, but would love to, as the clips I’ve seen are wonderfully beautiful and dreamlike.

& Another adorable clip from Anna, with Anna and Serge:

That’s really quite delicious! ♥

Lots of loveliness, indeed.

(The subject line is a quote from her character in Une Femme est une Femme.)

More soon!
