Pierrot le fou is being screened at Orion (National Audiovisual Archive of Finland), this Wednesday, at 7 PM, and I THINK Anna Karina is going to be there in person.



Of course I’m basing this on something a friend mentioned a few weeks ago - he was getting up early to stand in a queue to get tickets.  And my initial reaction, of course, was ”Oh, she’s still alive?”



I should have followed him and tried to get my own ticket, but I just watched Pierrot a few weeks ago and my French isn’t good enough to handle a film without subtitles yet (well, there will be Finnish and Swedish subtitles, but that’s no help).  Though maybe that’s appropriate for a film where the two lead characters communicate with each other in a way where they might as well be speaking different languages.  Yet, strangely they are in sync.
