“He never stops thanking me.”If this was made today I’d probably find it extremely pretentious. But since it’s from the 1960s and obviously in French, it kinda works! Never heard of these people but they’re extremely based. The poetry was really nice too very ethereal presentation as well, like a documentary in the style of La Jetee.
Overall, Varda’s work isn’t always my cup of tea but there’s no arguing her excellence as a director and storyteller. Worth checking out!

As intimate and poetic as its subjects. It would most certainly have been more effective if I was familiar with Elsa Triolet and Louis Aragon and their respective work, but nonetheless and interesting portrayel.
The intertwined historical aspect that the film gives was especially fascinating.
