Our take
Set against the backdrop of the Women’s Liberation movement in France, Agnès Varda’s feminist musical bursts with the joy of activism and community. Battling against patriarchal strictures that oppress women’s bodies, this portrait of female friendship celebrates the radical power of chosen family.
