(Reviewed 4/5 on letterboxd.com April 2020)
Varda’s reinterpretation of F.W Murnau’s silent Sunrise (1927) and the biblical Adam/Eve story in the context of the 1960's sexual revolution.
This film rejects the black and white dichotomy of the characters of the older film and instead portrays the skewed sexual dynamics in the sometimes beautiful and other times sickening color palette where even in the modern age, the women will come and go like the change of seasons; the men will remain, basking in their delusions of love and double standards of fidelity against the sometimes uplifting and other times foreboding strains of Mozart. The devil, if any, is in the man.
