La Pointe Courte (1956) update feed
"Directed by: Agnès Varda The great Agnès Varda's film career began with this graceful, penetrating study of a marriage on the rocks, set against the backdrop of a small Mediterranean fishing village. Both a stylized depiction of the complicated relationship between a married couple and a documentary-like look at the daily struggles of the locals, Varda's discursive, gorgeously filmed debut was radical enough to later be considered one of the progenitors of the coming French New Wave."
"January 16th Directed by: Agnès Varda The fact that this was Varda's first film just completely blows my mind. Would you believe that some imagery later made iconic by Ingmar Bergman would be seen here first? Varda was a photographer before she decided to make this film and surely the talent would transfer over but that hardly explains the way the camera moves. The only explanation is Varda is a visionary savant who was born to make films."
"08/08/16 Directed by: Agnes Varda Despite some amateurish moments and the B-story being a little hard to follow, I loved it. Countless beautiful shots, gorgeous locations and I love all the interactions between the main characters. "
