Agnès Varda’s Closet Picks

[@Salman-Zaki]

God, she speaks like a sweetheart.

[@ymest269daniel9]

She is a wonderful woman. A sweetheart, you're right.

[@ggthewhale]

I agree. Very un-french

[@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747]

[@christophepena2212]

​@@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747 belgian...who has lived all her life in France...and was very "french" by nature.

[@christophepena2212]

Like a sweetheart...but she was not!...she had a strong personnality and was very hard as a director.

[@lazy_kalm]

Has no-one done a list yet? I guess it's only a short vid, but regardless: An Angel at my Table - Jane Campion Sweetie - Jane Campion Taste of Cherry - Abbas Kiarostami La Promesse - Dardenne Brothers Bande à part - Jean-Luc Godard Tiny Furniture - Lena Dunham The Marriage of Maria Braun - Rainer Werner Fassbinder

[@bryceparish4224]

I hope I can be as energetic, sharp, and active as she is at 89. She's still making films, traveling, and winning awards. What a great video.

[@dirtysgkid]

It is charming how, even having argued with Godard, as he was a very complicated person, she still remembers him fondly and chooses Bande Aparte as one of his favorite films.

[@jscott2831]

RIP Agnes. Your amazing body of work will live on forever. Thank you for being such an inspiration to so many.

[@pettaspro]

I say we start a kickstarter to get Agnes Varda her screen and DVD reader

[@Wilkerics]

Jon Pettas I’d bet she has a tv - I think she was trying to articulate the fact that the disks are region locked.

Agnès Varda is the abuelita i never had, she is the abuelita everybody would want. she is the friend that everybody deserves. i don't know a better person.

I had a grandma just like her, except mine was more docile. They died within a year of eachother

[@atlas4698]

@@gnalkhere I know an old Greek woman who speaks with the same fascination and joy for everything. It is very heartening to spend time with souls like this.

[@seulcontretous32]

I love how she loves Kiarostami's Taste of Cherry. I don't know why but this warmed my heart.

[@919haroun]

The video is short & sweet like Agnes Varda.

[@xmasthyme]

This genuinely made me tear up. Agnes has been a massive inspiration for me since I saw The Gleaners and I in film school. I adore all the works by Godard, Truffaut, Resnais but to me it feels like Varda makes her movies with far more heart and compassion for the human will. RIP Agnes

[@RK-rf8rc]

Godard has NO heart for the human will. If Agnes' fought with a rose, Godard would fight with a AK47

[@look2-book-iv4uk]

I'm fifteen and starting my film journey!! I don't know much about Agnès Varda, only her two films cleo from 5 to 7 and vagabond, but this video already shows me how much of sweetheart she is! can't wait to watch her entire filmography

[@elliott8550]

@@look2-book-iv4ukI have only gotten into film in the past year and from Agnès Varda I have seen cleo from 5 to 7, vagabond and le bonheur. I also saw la pointe-Courte yesterday which seems to be underrated in her filmography, its really good.

[@laclochard]

She was a true feminist. Her shortfilm Women Reply gets it all right. And didn't know her partner was the director Jacques Demy and I am loving his films too know. They both seem good people. I recommend Lady Oscar from Demy, it's criminally unknown and the public is getting it all wrong...

[@loverrcinema]

she is such a genius, a marvelous woman ❤

[@MarkRudman777]

Lou I think that’s the way to say it when you’re talking about one of the few who have “something else“. I take the term from Plato. In Greek The word is “Allo Ti “. Is anyone in pervious from wanting something else, which comes to nothing in every day speech, but used Because this with the not so simple and Greek phrase that came for Plato to sell for human aspiration and the possibility of transcendence

[@MarkRudman777]

Reply to what I just wrote? Is that there left to Moses Herzog.

[@MarkRudman777]

From the moment I read about vagabond I could barely make it through the week but had an appointment with the most valuable behind the scenes figure in modern poetry To go over a book of poems I had hoped I had finished… He wondered why I was so drawn to Vagabond- Before I give it a thought to Sandrine Bonaire. My favorite of her films were the one directed by Jaques Rivette where she play the scientist who is forced to take on the role of the detectiveAnd I am Mesmerized by the Scene where she moves back-and-forth between Munro and another changing trains… Between your lab and what are dinner fathers house b efore he with murdered I found it hard to believe that she could Idealize him that way but that too is reality.

brilliant segment, she knows how she wants to do this, is direct, but warm, precise, picks nice range of movies, throws an interesting curveball (Lena Dunham) and signs off with the perfectly verbalized thought we've all had - put us in this room and give us a screen. She's 89 years-old. Damn.

Agnes is so charming, wise and adorable. I can listen to her talk about films (exploring their themes, concepts and visual ideas) forever. She exudes this deep passion and love for cinema and life in general which is incredibly refreshing to see. I would pick her any day over Godard. Her Vagabond, Gleaners and I & more recently Beaches of Agnes are some of my favorites. It's so amazing she picked "Sweetie" which also happens to be one of my all time favorites...yay! Agnes, if you are reading the comments section (why do i get this feeling that you have much better and more interesting things to do than this but if by some random chance that you are) and if you haven't yet seen them, please watch, Jellyfish (Meduzot) from Israel and Wadjda from Saudi Arabia - two very good films - which i think you will enjoy, judging by your taste and choice in movies.
