nunca N @nunca.verano Aug 2, 2026 Most films ask, What happened? Agnès Varda asks a far more unsettling question: Who was she before anyone believed they knew her? The distinction is everything. Vagabond quietly dismantles our habit of mistaking observation for understanding. Each encounter reveals less about Mona than about the people determined to explain her. We classify first, comprehend later. It’s an efficient system, if one’s goal is certainty rather than truth. Varda refuses that comfort. Mona remains gloriously unresolved, forcing us to accept that another person’s interior life is not a puzzle awaiting our intelligence but a reality forever exceeding it. Few films trust ambiguity this completely. Fewer still reward it so generously. Vagabond isn’t merely about a woman drifting through France. It’s about our enduring belief that every life owes us an explanation, and the quiet arrogance of expecting one. ::: See more Jorge S @RT34154138 Jun 13, 2026 A wanderer in search of freedom, Simone Bergeron, Mona, dies of cold in a ditch among vineyards – the starting point for retracing the protagonist's steps as she camps in winter, an option to escape the crowds of summer vacationers. Mona's contact with characters from various classes and professions tells her saga – and her decline into alcohol and drugs – in shallow and personal testimonies. The young woman's only "luxury" is music, which is offered and denied to her by life. A harsh yet moving film. Rating 8.

As a professional film student this movie disgraced my very eyes and burnt a hole into my soul which will never be replaced again. If i enjoy a film usually I will recommend it to my peers, if I don't I move on with my day. This film has scared my corneas so badly I am cautioning my friends to never lay their innocent eyes upon it.

Truly a tragic end to a problem that is so much still present in our societies. It will linger for months in your head.

It has a poetry all of its own as it deftly moves from scene to scene, engendered by the silence, the strange haunting music, the spare acting and the many and varied situations which speak so much to us, in all it’s subtle and invisible ways. Aspects of its poetic crazed beauty never shy from speaking stark truths. Vargas’ film Cleo (very different, made in the 1960s) also highly recommended. See more Read all reviews
