Le bonheur

How does the main character only kind of look like Bill Hader but absolutely looks like Barry Block? Also, oh my God, I love the cinematography of this one. Both the idyllic color palette as well as the flowing camera movement. Of the very few Varda films I've seen so far, I adore her style. She plays film by her own rules, and her films seem to be edited not on consistency of tone or pacing but on how exactly each individual beat in a scene feels. And of course, there is the ending which is just absolutely insane, and makes you rethink the story and even how the story has been told. Absolutely nuts in the best way and brings home the message. It all culminates into kind of the exact thing I love in film: a sort of controlled experimentation to make something that is both polished but risks possible messiness in hopes to achieve something so blissfully singular. And Varda has consistently reached it so far in the (again, very few) films I have seen of hers. That Criterion box set of all her films is calling to me.
