Untitled

It’s not that I didn’t like this film, but rather, the character Mona. You’ll be hard-pressed to find anything redeeming about her and it’s difficult to care about what happens to a person like that. But I don’t think Varda wants you to particularly care for her. The movie itself is well made and the narrative disturbingly echoes true events of a young man named Chris McCandless (Into the Wild); and, at least in terms of the book, it’s even told in a similar fashion.
