Vagabond

By .AGNES. on February 6, 2011

Around the 80’s many young girls appeared in the streets because they decided to live in freedom.

Vagabond is the story of Mona who has moved to live this way. She’s shown as a person who is determined to live as long as she can survive being free. She has studied, but she doesn’t want to feel slaved by having commodities or by working. She lives without any kind of attachments towards anyone but herself.

Agnes Varda beautifully crafted this movie and even though some say is very depressing, I didn’t get that feeling. This movie was quite impressing because of how someone so different to the persons she encountered, had such an impact in their lives, even though some of these persons found her disgusting, pointless or didn’t understand her ideals.

Vagabond is an example of Cinéma vérité that portrays existentialism issues in a very smart way with an excellent performance by Sandrine Bonnaire. It’s a story of freedom and Dirt just what Varda wanted to film.
