Why we chose it

Rather than give interviews, Agnès Varda made this film and had it shown in her place. She was ninety, and a month after the premiere she died, leaving European cinema a farewell like no other, one she wrote herself.

Synopsis

Seated in front of an audience, Agnès Varda talks through her work roughly in the order she made it, from photography to film and finally to installations in galleries. Inspiration, creation and sharing are the threads she keeps picking up. Along the way she explains what changed once cameras went digital and could be held in one hand.
