Powered by a formidable and resolutely unsentimental Bonnaire, Vagabond ranks as one of Varda’s very best films. Matching an audacious deconstruction of the storytelling process and a formally free take on reality, Varda’s drama possesses a spare, poetic beauty – the mid-winter landscapes highlighting the director’s origins in photography. It’s a potent look at life on the margins.
