From the eye and mind of Robert Eggers who brought us “The Witch” and whose horror films are unique in the genre.
VARDA BY AGNES
DECEMBER 27 – JANUARY 2
dir. Agnes Varda and Didier Rouger, Biography / Documentary, Not Rated, France, French, 2019, 115 min
The final film from the late, beloved Agnès Varda is a characteristically playful, profound, and personal summation of the director’s own brilliant career. At once impish and wise, she 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—this wonderfully idiosyncratic work of imaginative autobiography is a warmly human, touchingly bittersweet parting gift from one of cinema’s most luminous talents
