Watch Nana Movie Online No Survey This spare, haunting, deceptively slight film - marking the feature debut of French filmmaker Valerie Massadian - zeroes in on the behavior and existential state of its 4-year-old protagonist. Growing up in rural France, Nana lives in a seemingly idyllic environment, but Massadian increasingly complicates our notion of the child's innocence. Opening with a matter-of-fact depiction of the butchering of a pig (Nana lives on her grandfather's pig farm), the film gradually tightens its focus to convey the child's perspective as she entertains herself in solitude. The subtlety and ingenuity with which Massadian reveals aspects of Nana's environment through the details of her playing is astounding, and only gradually do we come to realize the full, disturbing extent of her situation. Founded on the remarkable rapport between filmmaker and infant actress - "There's not one word, one gesture - nothing - that I imposed on her. We played", Massadian told Interview Magazine - NANA is a delicate, unsettling, and uniquely affecting film. (c) Anthology Release Date Nana Jan 25, 2013 Limited | |

Review For Nana |
Driven by a combination of narrative economy and emotional expansiveness, Valérie Massadian's "Nana" is as difficult to pin down as the inner life of the tiny human at its center. Jeannette Catsoulis-New York Times
A fiction film that documents the unpredictable, unscripted actions of its pint-size lead, Nana offers new ways of thinking about childhood, or, at the very least, about children in movies. Melissa Anderson-Village Voice
It's a quiet and often lovely film, scored only with sounds of the forest (which we see, as Nana does, as a magical place) and the wind, letting a child make her own story. Moira MacDonald-Seattle Times
Tedious and slightly sickening, Valérie Massadian's debut feature focuses on a child but is hardly a children's movie. Eric Monder-Film Journal International
Its meta-cinematic "think piece"-ness is redeemed by the slinky symmetries drawn between Massadian's own auteur-ship and the protagonist's narrative role. Joseph Jon Lanthier-Slant Magazine
