- Synopsis:
- In Agnes Varda's directorial debut she faithfully portrays the complicated relationship between a married couple (Silvia Monfort and Philippe Noiret) set against the backdrop of a small Mediterranean fishing town. Shot with a documentary feel, the film also focuses on the daily struggles of the locals, and was radical enough to later be considered as one of the progenitors of the French New Wave.

Atmospheric but pondering - La Pointe Courte review by CD
I enjoyed the start of this film and the mediterranean backdrop, but I found it hard to engage with the main characters or the plot so gave up after 30 mins. It seems to be a well rated film applauded for the performances of the leads, so I may give it another view in the future.
