This kind of film is very hard to pull off, since a few moments of excess and we are trapped in an atmosphere as pretentious as the one being chide. Thankfully, Agnes Varda's style is clear and elegant, perfect for the balance necessary to make Les Creatures work. Her frames are clear and simple and her cutting so clean that the most outlandish of sequences (an indescribable interrupted eating scene) seems logical...
