Agnès Varda’s unpredictable and wildly imaginative blend of fantasy, realism, science fiction and emotionally frank drama stars Catherine Deneuve and Michel Piccoli as a couple living on a remote fishing island. After a traffic accident renders Mylène (Deneuve) mute, the film’s trajectory follows the writing of a novel by Edgar (Piccoli), merging the creation process with his vignettes featuring the islanders and his psychologically traumatized wife who is now pregnant.  A peculiar, subversive vibe permeates with scenes abruptly tinted red, a sequence involving a human chess board, explorations of mind-control themes and many more ahead-of-it’s-time strange loops and disruptions.
