Movie Reviews of Vagabond - Criterion Collection
Movie Review: captivating performance by Sandrine Bonnaire
Summary: 4 Stars
Perhaps undefinable charisma might best describe Bonnaire in this film. Varda directs with a sure hand.
Film stays with you long after it's over, just as the best ones usually do. The French have a knack for this type of layered storytelling and aren't afraid to do it at their own chosen pace.
Sandrine Bonnaire isn't the most beautiful actress to have ever appeared in films, and yet what she does here makes her far more appealing and interesting than so many women who are way better looking. That's why I say it's not easy to pin-point her charisma, but it certainly can't be denied.
Summary of Vagabond - Criterion Collection
Sandrine Bonnaire plays Mona, a vagabond found dead from exposure in the opening scene, whose final few months we follow in flashback. Traipsing through the French countryside in winter, Mona skips along from one situation to another, more interested in survival and sustenance than making any kind of permanent connection, resolute in her individuality. But she touches the lives of those around her, from a cultured professor who sees in her a romantic symbol of social freedom to a farming couple who offers her their way of life with a plot of land to a widow whose stiffness is mellowed by her directness. Yet she remains enigmatic as everyone projects their own fantasies on the alienated figure who meets every obstacle with a retreat to the road. Agnes Varda's chilly view weaves in commentaries and direct address of the bystanders and bit players whose lives are touched by Mona, but they ultimately reveal more about the speaker than the drifter. By the end of the film we don't know much more about her beyond her steely immutability and disconnection, and Varda is resolute in her no-apologies, no-excuses portrait. It's an assured film rich in detail with an enigma at the center. --Sean AxmakerArt House & International DVD Video
