The sun-drenched idyll of Le Bonheur, Agnès Varda’s third feature, flowers into a chillier tale of infidelity. Chosen by LUMI Programmers.

Though married to the good-natured, beautiful Thérèse (Claire Drouot), young husband and father François (Jean-Claude Drouot) finds himself falling unquestioningly into an affair with an attractive postal worker.

One of Varda's most provocative films, Le Bonheur examines, with a deceptively cheery palette and the spirited strains of Mozart, the ideas of fidelity and happiness in a modern, self-centred world.
