Week 1: Apr 5-7
Agnès Varda Double Feature *
Programmed by: Sarah Schaeffer
La Pointe Courte (1955); France; 86 min
Arguably the true start of the French New Wave movement, Varda’s debut film adds an earthiness to the genre with her signature eye behind the camera for detail. Part ethnography of a small fishing village, part mediation on a struggling marriage, this underseen Varda is a gem.
TRAILER
Le bonheur (1965); France; 80 min
A dreamy, sundrenched, and ultimately chilling critique of the patriarchal family structure and a woman’s place within it.
