(Agnès Varda, 1985, France, 105 minutes)

35mm print!

With this screening of Vagabond, one of her essential films, the Classic French Film Festival pays homage to the late Agnès Varda — director of such masterpieces as Cléo from 5 to 7, One Sings, the Other Doesn’t, The Gleaners and I, and Faces Places — who died last year after a hugely diverse and influential career. Sandrine Bonnaire won the Best Actress César for her portrayal of the defiant young drifter Mona, found frozen to death in a ditch at the beginning of Vagabond. The film pieces together Mona’s story through flashbacks told by the people — played by a largely nonprofessional cast — she encountered on her travels, producing a splintered portrait of an enigmatic woman. With its sparse, poetic imagery, Vagabond is a stunner and won Varda the top prize at the Venice Film Festival.

With an introduction and post-film discussion by Kathy Corley, documentary filmmaker and professor emerita of film at Webster University.
