Faces places

Full of guileless charm, warmth and wisps of melancholy. For those who don't know about Agnès Varda: she's the widow of Jacques Demy (who launched Deneuve in Umbrellas of C. and Demoiselles de Rochefort, with Gene Kelly in his only French singing/dancing role). Varda is the only surviving director of the French New Wave (Chabrol, Godard, etc.) and she's getting on years, hopefully this won't be her swan song. Watch for references of her own films such as Cléo from 5 to 7, and The Gleaners and I, an excellent documentary about our waste of food.
