In Brief:
Title both earnest and ironic. Story both straightforward and enigmatic. Style bold as daylight but laden with mystery.
VOR:
⑤
A key film for Varda, for the broadly construed
nouvelle vague
, for the 60s, for French film, and for histories of form. Feels brand new, too.
Grade:
A
Awards:
Berlin Film Festival
: Special Prize of the Jury
