MY FILM: L'UNE CHANTE L'AUTRE PAS

  The film L'une chante l'autre pas is directed by Agnès Varda, it is a French film. The protagonists are Pauline, a 17 years old girl, and Suzanne, a 22 years old mother.

The pitch

- Pauline, who is preparing for her 'baccalaureate' goes to a photography exhibition where sad women are represented in photos. She recognizes a model called Suzanne and they become friends again.
- Suzanne, who already has two children, needs money to have an abortion and Pauline helps her.
- Suzanne's partner commits suicide and she goes back with her family.

Every story is the same

1. YOU: Pauline is prepearing her bac and Suzanne is living with his husband and her two kids.
2. NEED: Suzanne is pregnant and she needs money to have an abortion.
3. GO: Pauline is liying to her parents to get some money to Pauline because she can't pay the abortion.
4. SEARCH: Pauline gives money to Suzanne.
5. FIND: Suzanne's abortion goes fine.
6. TAKE: Suzanne's husband commits suicide and she goes to live with her parents. Pauline and Suzanne's friendship is broken.
7. RETURN: after 10 yeras, they find each other in a manifastation and they get back in touch.
8. CHANGE: Suzanne is happy with her new husband and her kids beeing an abortion adviser and Pomme (Pauline) is now a women's rights defender Singer.


         I really like a scene: Pauline is waiting to have an abortion in Ámsterdam and she wants to encourage and cheer up the women who are on the waiting room. It reflacts the importance of the sisterhood (sororidad).
         During the filme, Pauline, who wanna be a singer, makes meaningful songs, which means they also had worked on the soundtrack. And even if the ryhtms of the songs are almost the same, the lyrics of each song is different and significant.

          I think this film has a very strong meaning because it wasn't easy to direct a film beeing a woman on those years and even more if the film was about feminism issues. I recomend everybody to watch this film keeping in mind that it is not a very known film of Agnès Varda and it really worths it.
