Le Bonheur 1965
Kino’s back on the menu boys. This movie was really freaking good. Beautiful popping colors and wonderfully shot. A nice dream like exterior for a real nightmarish scenario. Very tongue and cheek and subtle filmmaking. Agnes Varda has the juice. And the French New Wave style editing really heightens the emotions, particularly in THAT scene, just creating a gut punch.

Varda just lets the film breathe. Fantastic film and my first Varda!
