Happiness
1965 · 1h 20m · Drama, Romance
Watch it tonight if you're in the mood for a provocative, intellectually challenging film that'll mess with your head in the best way. Agnès Varda is a master of cinema, and 'Happiness' uses its beautiful, Mozart-scored surface to explore some deeply unsettling truths about desire and marriage—it's gorgeous and deeply unsettling.
Plot
Though married to the good-natured, beautiful Thérèse, young husband and father François finds himself falling unquestioningly into an affair with an attractive postal worker. One of Agnès Varda's most provocative films, 'Le bonheur' examines, with a deceptively cheery palette and the spirited strains of Mozart, the ideas of fidelity and happiness in a modern, self-centered world.
