La Pointe Courte

(1956) dir Agnès Varda w/Philippe Noiret, Silvia Monfort [80 min; DCP]
Varda’s film career began with this graceful, penetrating study of a marriage on the rocks, set against the backdrop of a small Mediterranean fishing village. Both a stylized depiction of the complicated relationship between a married couple and a documentary-like look at the daily struggles of the locals, Varda’s discursive, gorgeous debut was radical enough to later be considered one of the progenitors of the French New Wave.
