Photographs abound in Agnès Varda’s One Sings, the Other Doesn’t. They pop up with the opening credits and predate the encounter between 17-year-old Pauline (Valérie Mairesse) and photographer Jérôme (Robert Dadiès); they go on to document the friendship between the teenage girl and Jérôme’s girlfriend, 22-year-old Suzanne (Thérèse Liotard); and they resurface at the end, when the two girls meet again for a summer holiday of Bergman-esque peace after years spent apart. They are, for the most part, portraits of women, sometimes naked but always unmistakably black and white—colors which Charles Van Damme’s cinematography blends into a fitting, melancholic blue. “These women are sad,” remarks Pauline as she steps foot into Jérôme’s studio. It is a point she brings up again when he later asks her to strip and pose for him, only to give up and complain she’s “refusing to be real.
