Agnès Varda traces the final days of Mona, a defiant young drifter found dead in a ditch, through fractured memories and encounters.
In VAGABOND, a young woman’s frozen body is found in a ditch. Through flashbacks and interviews with those who crossed her path, Agnès Varda pieces together the final days of Mona, a fiercely independent drifter who refuses comfort, convention or explanation. Sparse, poetic and unsentimental, it is a haunting portrait of freedom and isolation.
Rialto Recommends VAGABOND is one of Agnès Varda’s great achievements: stark, mysterious and emotionally devastating. Sandrine Bonnaire is unforgettable as Mona, a woman who resists being understood even as others try to define her. Winner of the Golden Lion at Venice, this is cinema that observes without softening, and lingers like cold air.
