"The only female director of the French New Wave, Agnès Varda has been called both the movement’s mother and its grandmother. The fact that some have felt the need to assign her a specifically feminine role speaks to just how unique her place in this hallowed cinematic movement—defined by such decidedly masculine artists as Jean-Luc Godard and François Truffaut—is. Varda not only made films during the Nouvelle Vague, she helped inspire it." - The Criterion Collection
"However, we might add, her value and influence goes way beyond her role in launching the Nouvelle Vague" - Deptford Cinema
We're incredibly proud and excited to host six masterpieces by one of cinema's coolest, wisest, most nurturing and original figures. All six - starting with her debut LA POINTE COURTE and concluding with her autobiographical classic THE BEACHES OF AGNES - will be screened from Artificial Eye's gorgeous new HD transfers <3 See you there!
