Happiness

In this groundbreaking French New Wave drama, Agnès Varda crafts a provocative exploration of fidelity and happiness, as François, a happily married young man, finds himself inexorably drawn into an extramarital affair that ultimately leads to devastating consequences. With a deceptively cheery palette and the spirited strains of Mozart, "Happiness" (1965) delivers a shocking, subversive take on the ideals of love and family in modern society.
