It’s Agnès Varda week in Manhattan, between the premiere of this great French director’s latest, The Beaches of Agnès, at Film Forum and today’s three screenings (12:30, 4:00 and 7:30pm) of The Creatures (1966) at the French Institute Alliance Française. Michel Piccoli and Catherine Deneuve star as a married couple who get into a car accident in which the husband is injured and the wife goes mute. They sequester themselves on an island, where they try to conceive a child and where the unspoken tensions of their relationship come to the fore. This is one of Varda’s lesser-known works stateside, so definitely give it a look.
