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
A slow and interesting character study that needs to be watched again.
Good movie to watch on the solstice. Varda did it effortlessly
A classic French new wave film but Agnes Varda, about the fragility of life and complexity of the human experience
A great reflection on mortality and living your life the right way through a subtle feminist perspective
depressing, but a groundbreaking addition to the genre
the classic example of loving the film but not the protagonist
