Agnès Varda

Octogenarian French director Agnès Varda hits the road with young photo-muralist JR, creating artworks, looking up old friends and making new ones.

Varda focuses her eye on gleaners: those who scour already-reaped fields for the odd potato or turnip. Her investigation leads from forgotten corners of the French countryside to off-hours at the green markets of Paris, following those who insist on finding a use for that which society has cast off, whether out of necessity or activism.

A young marriage is strained by an affair in this drama from celebrated French auteur Agnès Varda. Winner of the 1965 Silver Berlin Bear.

French cinema institution Agnès Varda’s final film, which premiered a month before she died, looks back at her exceptional life and career.
