Sandrine Bonnaire won the Best Actress César for her portrayal of the defiant young drifter Mona, found frozen to death in a ditch at the beginning of Vagabond. Agnès Varda pieces together Mona’s story through flashbacks told by those who encountered her (played by a largely nonprofessional cast), producing a splintered portrait of an enigmatic woman. With its sparse, poetic imagery, Vagabond (Sans toit ni loi) is a stunner, and won Varda the top prize at the Venice Film Festival. (Criterion)

English This is definitely not a film that will win me over. It turned out to be a film that just doesn't appeal to me. I did like the form of this essentially fiction documentary about how life can turn out. Actually, it's a reconstruction. Strange scenes, strange images, yet all realistic. Overall, I just wasn't impressed and I didn't discover the magic of this film. To be honest, the whole time I was wondering why I was watching it. ()
