Le Bonheur by Agnès Varda

Taking happiness (bonheur in French) as its key subject, Agnès Varda’s human drama follows the story of François, a carpenter devoted to his wife, Thérèse, and their two young children. Soon, he falls for a woman named Émilie, until his wife forces him to confront his personal decisions and desires. Shot in a highly saturated Impressionist style, the film serves as an allegorical story of fraught romance, exploring the tangled relationship between happiness and selfishness. 1965, France, DCP, in French with English subtitles, 80 min.

This film is part of Cinema Revived: Timeless Selections from the Vault, an ongoing presentation of notable feature-length films from the Ruben/Bentson Moving Image Collection.
