Happiness

Very few films have made me want to crawl out of my skin with discomfort, and this ending is done so well because out of context it would illicit a completely different response.  This is my SECOND venture into Varda after Cleo from 5 to 7 and the massive contrast of a black and white film like that to a film that is a color theorists wet dream is genuinely baffling and impressive. Every shot in this film could be an art piece. As I was watching I thought to myself man I love the technical aspects of this film but goddamn I just don’t feel emotionally connected to anything here. Oh boy was I wrong by the end. Jesus.
