Magnificantly elaborate and an exquisite input on 3rd wave feminism with Vardas' questioning of objective and subjective being.
This movie is so perfectly framed. And the way she plays with mirrors and windows. Everything is so beautiful.
Such a great and relatable little self contained film.
A lovely and slow depiction of a Parisian woman
postmodernist ideas and nihilism, even stoicism are earthen curses. we're capable of true transcendence; liberation. let love light the way.
French new wave focus on details & behavior. Meaning is everywhere to consider, not simply to enjoy. Subtle, believable with edge of sadness
depressing, but a groundbreaking addition to the genre
the classic example of loving the film but not the protagonist
The cinematography feels downright modern. Excellent intro scene, powerful moments of speed and stasis. Plus, a touch of feminism.
I wish we made more movies like this today. Experimental, melancholic and even a little self aware. The french new wave was something else
