Summary:
Varda par Agnès: The final film from Agnès Varda is a characteristically playful, profound, and personal summation of the director's own brilliant career. At once impish and wise, Varda acts as our spirit guide on a free-associative tour through her six-decade artistic journey, shedding new light on her films, photography, and recent installation works while offering her one-of-a-kind reflections on everything from filmmaking to feminism to aging. Suffused with the people, places, and things she loved-- Jacques Demy, cats, colors, beaches, heart-shaped potatoes-- the wonderfully idiosyncratic work of imaginative autobiography is a warmly human, touchingly bittersweet parting gift from one of cinema's most luminous talents. "A 14-year-old girl opens a package containing a magical magenta ball dress ten times her teenage size. Jasmine enters the folds of the dress, into a modern anti-fairy tale and everyday empowerment."--IMDb, February 5, 2021.
