The Widows of Noirmoutier Trailers

A documentary film directed by French Agnès Varda as an extension of the exhibition 'L'île et elle'. The installation 'Les veuves de Noirmoutier' (or 'The Widows of Noirmoutier') had various women filmed by Varda, young and old, who spoke about their widowhood and their residence on the island of Noirmoutier. The film is a montage of these meetings, which are both simple and melancholic.

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.
