阿涅斯·瓦尔达四部电影 4 by Agnès Varda
 |
Agnès Varda used the skills she honed early in her career as a photographer to create some of the most nuanced, thought-provoking films of the past fifty years. She is widely believed to have presaged the French new wave with her first film, La Pointe Courte, long before creating one of the movement’s benchmarks, Cléo from 5 to 7 (Cléo de 5 à 7). Later, with Le bonheur and Vagabond (Sans toit ni loi), Varda further shook up art-house audiences, challenging bourgeois codes with her inscrutable characters and offering effortlessly beautiful compositions and editing. Now working largely as a documentarian, Varda remains one of the essential cinematic poets of our time and a true visionary.
短角情事 La pointe-courte (1955)
LA POINTE COURTE
Agnès Varda 1956
Agnès Varda’s discursive, gorgeously filmed debut—a graceful, penetrating study of a marriage on the rocks, set against the backdrop of a small Mediterranean fishing village—was radical enough to later be considered one of the progenitors of the coming French New Wave.
五至七时的奇奥 Cléo de 5 à 7 (1962)
CLÉO FROM 5 TO 7
Agnès Varda 1962
A chronicle of the minutes of one woman’s life, Cléo from 5 to 7 is a spirited mix of vivid vérité and melodrama, featuring a score by Michel Legrand (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) and cameos by Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina.
幸福 Le bonheur (1965)
LE BONHEUR
Agnès Varda 1965
A young husband and father finds himself falling unquestioningly into an affair with an attractive postal worker in Le bonheur, one of Agnès Varda’s most provocative films.
天涯沦落女 Sans toit ni loi (1985)
VAGABOND
Agnès Varda 1985
Sandrine Bonnaire won the Best Actress César for her portrayal of the defiant young drifter Mona in Agnès Varda’s sparse, poetic Vagabond.
