Le Bonheur

Directed by Agnès Varda
Starring Claire Drouot, Jean-Claude Drouot, Olivier Drouot

This month’s audience choice comes straight from the French New Wave with one of Agnès Varda’s more provocative and shocking works; a bold, sun-drenched study of love, fidelity, and happiness.

One summer, François, a young, happily married carpenter and father of two, falls for Émilie, the clerk at his local post office. As he basks in the glow of his affair, his affection for his family only deepens. But when he tries to share his joyful new happiness with his wife Thérèse, her reaction is far from the delight he hoped for.
