    The definition of a beautiful movie! The thematic, the soundtrack, the colors, the daily life routine.. 11 years 5 months ago

    “I imagined a summer peach with its perfect colors, and inside, there is a worm. And impressionist paintings, which emanate such melancholy, though they depict scenes of everyday happiness. I listened to Mozart, and thought of death’s preponderance. I wrote the film fast and shot it fast, like the vivid brightness of our short-lived summers. In a world full of prefabricated images of happiness, it’s interesting to take apart the cliches.” - Agnes Varda on Le Bonheur 1 year ago

    Agree with elcid. Everything is so perfect and it seems surreal and satirical. Seems its Varda's satirical take on how a man wants his life and Happiness. spoiler 6 years ago
