Along the Coast (1958)

★ 7.3/10 26 min Documentary France French
Director: Agnès Varda
Writer: Agnès Varda
Streaming on:
A humorous travelogue of the French Riviera.

Description

Tongue-in-cheek look at the French Riviera, especially in summer when it overflows with tourists. Reviews its history and famous visitors; displays its faux-exotic buildings, its crowded beaches, its trees and monuments; and, pokes fun at the colors women wear and the vagaries of fashion. The film celebrates the use of "Eden" as a place name, suggesting that paradise comes to the coast after all are gone, perhaps only on a remote island beach.
