| Questions |
|
| 1. | At the beginning of this sequence we see the first “tracking shot of the Grand Series,” as Varda calls the scenes where we see Mona on the move. Describe the beginning of this shot. What is the role of the tracking which follows? Where does the tracking stop, in relation to Mona? |
| 2. | Describe Mona’s behavior with the truck driver. What does this tell us about her character? |
| 3. | At the end of this sequence we see Mona framed in the outside rearview mirror of the truck as it moves away from her. Why, in your opinion, did Varda make this shot this way? |
