Les Créatures (English: The Creatures) is a 1966 fantasy drama film written and directed by Agnès Varda that recounts a story of a couple who have just moved to a new town and been in a car accident.

Les Créatures was an official selection of the 27th Venice International Film Festival, though it received mixed reviews.

[3] Ma Cabane was made from film stock directly from the distribution copy and rearranged to form the structure of a cabin.

Edgar is seen beginning to write a book in scenes that are interspersed with his travels around his new town on the isle Noirmoutier.

Once Edgar leaves, the daughter remarks that he scared her, but the mother defends him, describing him as quiet but polite.

Max and Pierre then harass Edgar at his home, while he is attempting to enjoy time with his pregnant wife Mylène, who has been rendered mute by the wreck.

Edgar is able to drive the two off, but the next time he leaves the house, he finds a pile of sheets next to a dead cat.

Mr. Ducasse demonstrates that he can control people remotely, and does so by forcing one of the vendors, Pierre, to nearly jump out of a nearby window.

Edgar has seen enough, however, when Mr. Ducasse attempts to have the old man who owns the local hotel rape the shopkeeper's daughter, Suzon.

The fight proceeds to the top of the tower in the house, where Edgar forces Mr. Ducasse off the ledge to his death.

According to Varda, she made Les Créatures in an attempt to show the messy nature of inspiration.

Claude Pignot designed the sets, with editing by Janine Verneau, music by Pierre Barbaud, and mixing by Jacques Maumont.

Jean Narboni of Cahiers du Cinéma felt that Agnès Varda had thrown herself into a void with the film.

"[6] Other contemporary critics disagreed, with Pierre Mazars of Le Figaro Littéraire saying that Les Créatures is presented with speed, humor and happiness, and that it shows the audience the birth of literary works through sleep and dreams.

Roger Ebert gave it three stars out of four, calling it a "complex and nearly hypnotic study of the way fact is made into fiction.

Roger Greenspun of The New York Times lauded Varda for her efforts, but made the statement, "though cooking a stew with heavy ingredients, she produced mostly froth, and a little steam.

James Travers from filmsdefrance.com praises Les Créatures' ability to fit in to the French Nouvelle Vague while maintaining feminist overtones, setting it apart from the rest of the movement.

[11] Agnès Varda recycled her failed film into a successful installation piece, Ma Cabane de l'Échec, or My Shack of Failure.
