Les créatures

Well, I dunno. I mean, I’m a huge Varda fan, but this seems like such a mish-mash… It’s less like a Varda movie than a Godard pastiche?

Lots of crabs. Must be symbolic.

And then all of a sudden that guy’s playing chess with er satan or somebody. But a very high tech satan — he’s got a 3D chessboard and surveillance cameras!

Which makes sense.

The other guy is on the side of lurve.

It’s a pretty good idea, I guess, but the resulting movie isn’t really that gripping.

Right:

Les Créatures was an official selection of the 27th Venice International Film Festival, though it received mixed reviews. The film failed commercially.

Well, I can see that. I don’t think it’s a successful movie, but it’s kinda interesting? But…

Huh:

There are no critic reviews yet for The Creatures.

Nobody has reviewed this movie for the Tomatoes? Perhaps it hasn’t been shown for a while? So I guess it was a real bomb commercially.

And it’s not a lost masterpiece.

The Creatures. Agnès Varda. 1966.
