In this French New Wave pioneer and documentary master’s final film, Agnes Varda reflects upon her incredible body of work and artistic inspirations.
Called a “cinematic victory lap [which] will delight her recently expanded fanbase” by Variety, Agnes Varda’s last film is a thoughtful reflection on her illuminous and groundbreaking career. Passing away at the age of 90 in March 2019, this Academy Award winning director left behind a filmography that plays a seminal role in film history. Moving from her dramatic work in establishing the French New Wave with CLEO FROM 5 TO 7 (1961) to her later documentary work including the acclaimed THE GLEANERS AND I (CIFF 2001), Varda sits centre stage at a French Opera house treating the audience to an insider's view of her more than half a century in cinema.
Although all of her films reflect a certain level of auto-biography, Varda provides the most open version of herself in this denouement of her body of work. This fitting tribute is a must see for her fans and a fantastic introduction for those who have just discovered this master.
