Vagabond

It's not wandering, it's withering," She came from the sea and went into the ground, and in between she was free, she was vagabond. A mysterious who wandered southern france countryside with no plans, no goals, no desires, no wishes, no needs. She was just a cold wind with direction but left a long lasting impact on whoever she interacted with. She chose the road between loneliness and freedom. For that she left behind a life of responsibility and family to concur that freedom which was not bounded by external factors. but her fate proves that there is no absolute freedom in this cold cruel money minded greedy world. On every stop she scraped for bread, blanket and roof. Three essentials for which people earn money. She rejected them all and went on wandering but died wanting for a piece of bread, a roof to get away from dying cold. It shows you can't hide from the consequences of living in a broken modern society. It's a brilliant and hard hitting, bone chilling example of social-realism. Agnes varda uses a docu fiction style narrative, where witnesses look at the camera and talk about mona, it just makes the story more realistic and immersive like watching a true story documentary. It's shocking that this movie feels so relevant to current times than ever before. Seeing so many people burnt out from the urban life and constant hustle, and ending up giving it up and going back to the countryside or living a free spirited life away from capitalism. But in some we are bound by it, no matter if you are settled or vagabond, life is brutal either way.
