One Sings, the Other Doesn't

Agnès Varda19772hSocial Issues, Drama

Why we chose it

Agnès Varda’s feminist film about abortion and freedom follows two friends who fight side by side for the right to decide how they live. It’s the most political film the French New Wave icon ever made, yet it’s as full of her energy and humour as anything she did.

Synopsis

Seventeen-year-old Pauline is still at school in 1962 when, in a Paris gallery, she spots a photograph of an old friend. Suzanne, now twenty-two, has two children by the photographer and needs money for an abortion the law forbids, so Pauline lies to her parents to get it before running away from home to sing. They won’t see each other again for ten years, until they meet at a demonstration in 1972.
