This feminist testimonial and sisterhood singalong coincides with a couple of other female "buddy" movies, Julia and The Turning Point, to signal a kind of backlash to the proliferous male "buddy" movies. The principle of "separate but equal," evidently. The friendship here, sustained mainly through postcards and long-distance well-wishing, is not very convincing, nor, it follows, very inspiring. But Agnes Varda is a woman born to stand behind a camera, and she hawks the two intersecting lifelines with an exceptional eye for composition and texture. With Valerie Mairesse, Therese Liotard.
