The Institut Francais d’Ecosse screens Agnès Varda’s 1955 film La Pointe Courte in Edinburgh on 2 October 2026. The screening starts at 19:30.
A graceful, penetrating study of a couple’s deteriorating marriage, set against the backdrop of a small Mediterranean fishing village. La Pointe Courte is both a stylized depiction of the couple’s complicated relationship and a documentary-like look at the daily lives of the villagers. “A stunningly beautiful and accomplished first film,” which has also achieved a cult status as “the first film of the nouvelle vague.” (G. Vincendeau)
