La Pointe Courte
Directed by Agnès Varda
Produced by Ciné-Tamaris
A formally inventive, melancholic portrait of marital dissolution woven into the texture of a Mediterranean fishing village, balancing intimate psychological study with documentary observation.
A penetrating study of a marriage on the rocks, set against the backdrop of a small Mediterranean fishing village. Both a stylized depiction of the complicated relationship between a married couple and a documentary-like look at the daily struggles of the inhabitants of Sète in the South of France.
