"This compilation of songs performed by Anna Karina, the iconic New Wave muse, is a treasure chest filled with stirring movie remembrances. It contains such gems as "Angela's Song", the ditty with music by Michel Legrand and lyrics by Jean Luc Godard (Karina's ex-husband) from "A Woman is a Woman", I Never Told You That I Would Always Love You" from Godard's masterpiece "Pierrot le Fou", and Gainsbourg's "La Noyee" from "Vivre Ensemble" (a 70's flick directed by Karina herself).
One is transported back to the glorious days of 60s French cinema and is entranced by the mesmerizing vocals of the sultry actress, who has reinvented herself as a contemporary pop singer. Add "Chansons de films" to your collection of soundtracks!"
