    Varda's shot ends with a still life after each pan, just like the original scene where Mona's body was found. A still life (dead thing) on ​​the ground, with no past, no future, and the present tense that is always on the road is the state of her existence. Mona's state mirrors the state of the people she meets. She is like a stone, arousing the yearning and fear of extreme freedom and extreme loneliness in people's hearts. The viewer takes a picture of himself, and can see his own shadow in...

    Film Forum#5 I love how she mentions "if I had the right clothes" and the blood donor man described "she just wants some treats not bread and wine", which seems like the only thing in the movie that treats her at ease Personality narrative. Kicking away her bad middle-class had nothing to do with this tragedy, and giving her good-hearted middle-class a conscience in a gorgeous bathroom didn't stop a homeless stray girl from tripping over a random water pipe Then died quietly in...

    Varda's films have always been liked, and it doesn't seem like a brilliant idea to call them feminist. She came from the sea, then fell on the dirty land to end her short life. The skin is still fair, but there seems to be a dull pain...

    Seeing her in that purple mixed shawl I felt relieved because her filthy, lazy, meaningless life was finally over But it sounds like anyone's life This piece of essence is the same as those coal workers on the streets of China There is no difference in the story of the old bachelor in Yimeng Mountain, the rogue, but Varda is uncritical, there is no bitterness, no preaching, and even the choice is natural. It’s a paradox of liberalism, and it’s like a class allegory. Freedom is a state, not even...

    [Criterion Channel] Varda's revisited documentary in 2003 pointed out that dirt is a very important theme in the film. From the fresh and clean beach at the beginning, to the muddy paillasse day at the end, the space of Mona ranges from a vast beach to a cramped station, showing the characteristics of those marginal characters that society hates: dirty, drugs, loud, drunk, Vomit. The various reactions of the people Mona met, or sympathy, admiration, or accusation, were more like a social...

    100 points, it's great, the separation is natural and smooth, the non-professional actors are also well selected, and the technical aspects of this film are very good, and the art photography is beautiful. The mini crew who made movies in that era were really amazing. The choice of details and close-ups is also very effective when it comes to characterization. Seeing that the actress was covered in mud and her hair was sticky and dirty in the end, I sighed for the actress in our...

    8.0/10 points. 2019.08.13, first look, British version on Blu-ray. Wandering all the way to the end of the world. . . When you are 20, you can only give 2 stars, and after 40, you can give 4 stars. . . For some people, the body is wandering; for some people, the heart is wandering all the time. ....

    The works of Varda, whose techniques are consummate. My personal favorite is the intersection with the philosopher and the Tunisian, where the capital-poor nihilist ends up dying. She used to be confident, happy and fearful, and hoped for stability after wandering. We seem to know her a little bit, but we don't seem to know her at all. In our eyes, she is just a corpse without an...

    At first, he was rebellious and just wanted to stay away from the crowd, and he became desolate and tired step by step. In the end, he was down and out and only wanted to survive. Pursuing oneself one way to the dark can only be helpless and lawless. She gained eternal freedom, but also carried the shackles of eternal loneliness. There is nothing wrong with getting off the bus and surrendering to life, you have to...

    Four and a half stars. The heroine's depressed mood spreads wave after wave with the people she meets, and she hides all the techniques in nature, even the scattered interviews are skillful and natural. She looks just as careless as the heroine. Sandrina Bernell's performance is beyond doubt as real. In the end, she kicked her tattered boots and walked down the street bored. She has completely matched the film's flesh and blood. If the film has been showing her, it is better to say that she is...

Vagabond quotes

  • la platonologne Mme Landier: Why did you drop out?

    Mona Bergeron, sans toit ni loi: Champagne on the road's better!

  • les Bergers: She blew in like the wind. No plans, no goals... No wishes, no wants... We suggested things to her. She didn't want to do a thing. Wandering? That's withering. By proving she's useless, she helps a system she rejects. It's not wandering, it's withering.
