Anything on if when it was ever released on DVD or Blu-ray Disc (or even VHS)? --Pmsyyz (talk) 04:01, 28 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Restoration of Cinema Verite references and character details

[edit]

The film includes a number of documentary type sections, shot out of doors, employing lightweight cameras, a distinctive feature of the cinema verite style employed at this time by Coutard and other cinematographers.

The inclusion of the reference to Nana's decision to abandon a conventional sexual relationship and child in the first scene of the film gives point to her later deluded choices with respect to a life of prostitution which ends with her sordid death in a backstreet. Given this, it may be sensible to keep this within the plot summary.—Preceding unsigned comment added by Rmackenzie (talkcontribs) 20:11, 11 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Influences

[edit]

Does anyone has any information which could show that this film was influenced by the series of 6 paintings from the 18th century called A Harlot's Progress? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chandrasonic (talkcontribs) 13:22, 24 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Requested move 9 August 2022

[edit]
The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: Moved. Consensus and evidence is that there is a WP:COMMONNAME now of using the French title.  — Amakuru (talk) 15:06, 25 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]


My Life to LiveVivre sa vie – Proposing reversal of (years-old but nonetheless) undiscussed move. My Life to Live was only the US release title. In the UK it was released as It's My Life. In both countries the film is now known and released as Vivre sa vie, by Criterion, BFI, and NYFF. Nardog (talk) 14:51, 9 August 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. — Ceso femmuin mbolgaig mbung, mellohi!

Nonetheless, in English Wikipedia, a well-established English title should take precedence over the non-English title (unless the non-English title [such as Pierrot le Fou] is the only title known in the English-speaking world) and a more-frequently used English title should take precedence over the less-frequently used one.
As for the three reference works from the 1970s, those film guides list all French films by their original titles (the third one extends this practice to all films) and, while the British variant — "It's My Life" — no longer appears to be in use, the form My Life to Live does continue to be used (as exemplified by AllMovie and Rotten Tomatoes) and appears (alphabetized under "M") in all printed American film guides published in the 1990s, 2000s and 2010s, such as Steven H. Scheuer's Movies on TV, Leonard Maltin's Movie and Video Guide, Mick Martin's & Marsha Porter's DVD & Video Guide or Videohound's Golden Movie Retriever. —Roman Spinner (talkcontribs) 00:32, 10 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
