Vagabond
Free-spirited drama with documentary touches about a vagrant young woman wandering through the winter of Southern France
When a worker discovers the body of a young woman in a ditch beside a vineyard one morning, police begin their investigation. Ruling out foul play, they find she froze to death in the open. But who was she? And what was she doing out there? As locals are questioned, it emerges that the deceased is likely Mona. She once worked as a secretary until she grew fed up with that life, choosing absolute freedom instead—refusing to let anyone or anything dictate her path. And so she roamed the countryside, encountering all kinds of people and leaving an indelible impression behind...
Agnès Varda is best known for her documentaries, which make up much of her filmography—including "Faces Places" (2017) and "Varda by Agnès" (2019), the final two feature-length works she directed before her death in 2019. Yet over a career spanning several decades, she also directed several landmark narrative films. The two most famous are likely "Cléo from 5 to 7" (1962) and "Vagabond" (1985). The latter won her the Golden Lion at Venice, making her only the second female director in the festival's history to win the award, after Margarethe von Trotta.
Shows are in German unless they carry their language, like EN for English.
