Agnès Varda @ 80.

Let's not leave Johannes Bock dangling alone in the wind (or rather, the Tagesspiegel) with his congrats to Agnès Varda on her 80th today. We don't have to reach far back to find appreciations in English; in January, Criterion released its collection, 4 by Agnés Varda, and I collected reviews and interviews here.

Meantime, the site's a breezy browse, particularly the recherche thématique section.

UbuWeb has a bit of online viewing; YouTube, naturally, has much more.

Updates: Paul Harrill notes "that one of my favorite films of Varda's, Jacquot, is now available on (Region 2) DVD from her web store."

Craig Keller: "Une bonne soeur."
