Vagabond by French cinema icon Agnès Varda screens at the New Beverly Cinema on September 11 and 12, as part of a double feature with Into the Wild by Sean Penn.
Mona, a defiant young drifter, is found frozen to death. Through a series of flashbacks, director Agnès Varda pieces together the fragments of Mona’s life, told by those who briefly crossed paths with her. Using a largely nonprofessional cast and giving Sandrine Bonnaire one of her most memorable performances ever, Varda crafts a splintered yet poignant portrait of an enigmatic woman who rejected society’s norms. With its sparse, poetic imagery and raw depiction of loneliness and freedom, Vagabond stands as a powerful exploration of a life lived on the margins. The film earned Varda the top prize at the Venice Film Festival and Bonnaire the Best Actress César for her unforgettable portrayal. 35mm, 1985, France, Drama, 105 minutes, in French with English subtitles, Janus Films.
Written and directed by: Agnès Varda
