This movie is just stunning, both visually and in its attempt to tackle marriage, love, infidelity and the "bonheur". There's so much meaning, so much suggestion, thought provoking plan compositions, transitions, dialogue, sequences. The use of colour is just breathtaking. My first time ever watching an Agnès Varda film and I'm in love. I intend on watching her entire filmography now.

What I received was a story filled with difficult and uncomfortable ideas, handled with extreme care and contrasting visuals, thanks to Varda's mesmerizing use of color. I appreciate how it was never sardonic and it leaves you both fulfilled and empty at the end.
