My Take
Anne Wiazemsky lived two distinct artistic lives, and both impress me. At eighteen she was Marie in Bresson's Au hasard Balthazar, then married Godard and became a face of his most politically charged late-sixties films like La Chinoise and Week End. But the second act is what I find moving, reinventing herself as a novelist serious enough to win the Grand Prix du roman de l'Académie française. She died in 2017. Few people sit at the center of French New Wave cinema and then earn equal respect on the page. Her memoirs of the Godard years are quietly devastating.
