One Sings, The Other Doesn't 
Agnès Varda focuses on the intertwined lives of two women brought together during the struggle of the women's movement in 1970s France.
This subject that remains all too familiar with Varda who was personally involved with the movement. Spanning more than a decade, it traces the ups and downs -abortion, heartbreak, marriage, motherhood - of two friends, Pauline and Suzanne. Even as their lives radically diverge, they remain steadfastly devoted to one another while finding ways to empower other women: one as a traveling feminist folk singer, the other as a reproductive rights activist.
This tender and intimate Varda's 1977 film celebrates the ability of women to lift one another up.
Part of Gleaning Truths, a touring programme featuring brand new digital restorations of eight of Agnès Varda’s best-known films. Revered for her bold political and autobiographically inspired work, Agnès Varda is a seminal feminist filmmaker and matriarch of French Cinema.
