The geodesics of Hofer's metric on the space of Lagrangian submanifolds in arbitrary symplectic manifolds are studied from the variational point of view, and a characterization of length-critical paths w.r.t. this metric is provided. In particular, it is shown that if two Lagrangian submanifolds are disjoint, then they cannot be joined by length-minimizing geodesics.
