“I imagined a summer peach with its perfect colors, and inside, there is a worm. And impressionist paintings, which emanate such melancholy, though they depict scenes of everyday happiness. I listened to Mozart, and thought of death’s preponderance. I wrote the film fast and shot it fast, like the vivid brightness of our short-lived summers. In a world full of prefabricated images of happiness, it’s interesting to take apart the cliches.” - Agnes Varda on Le Bonheur

The definition of a beautiful movie! The thematic, the soundtrack, the colors, the daily life routine..

Agree with elcid. Everything is so perfect and it seems surreal and satirical. Seems its Varda's satirical take on how a man wants his life and Happiness. Especially, once his wife is dead, he wants his lover to accept his love without much problem and life goes on and happiness prevails
