At the sea shore, a goat, a child, and a naked man. This is a photograph taken in 1954 by Agnès Varda. The goat was dead, the child was named Ulysses, and the man was naked. Starting from this frozen image, the film explores the real and the imaginary. (mubi.com)

Varda starts with a photo she'd taken nearly 30 years earlier, of a man, a child and a dead goat on a beach, and spins off on a number of typically Varda-esque tangents. She catches up with the man and the child, she places the photo is its historical context, she recalls that period of her life, she shows the photo to children, and she ruminates on the its philosophical and mythological meanings. This seems like a precursor to The Beaches of Agnes. Interesting stuff.

This is good and pushes cinema in a weird direction as an art form but v slight in comparison to what Godard did with this kind of thing already.
