Diary of a Pregnant Woman

L'Opéra-Mouffe (1958) is a sixteen-minute documentary short you can watch online on iFILM — Agnès Varda's impressionist study of the rue Mouffetard, filmed while she was pregnant.

Varda moves between documentary and fiction without marking the transition. Women at the market stalls, men sleeping in doorways, a young couple against the street noise — and stranger, more lyrical fragments woven in between. No narration. What the film accumulates is less a portrait of a neighborhood than a record of what a specific bodily state does to perception. Stream L'Opéra-Mouffe on iFILM.
