Directors of photography: Alain Sakot, Hélène Louvart, Julia Fabry, Jean-Baptiste Morin and Agnès Varda. With: Jane Birkin, Sandrine Bonnaire, Jacques Demy, Catherine Deneuve, Robert De Niro, Gérard Depardieu, Harrison Ford and Jim MorrisonCelebrated as the French New Wave’s only woman director, Agnès Varda is simply one of France’s best filmmakers of any genre or gender. Now 81, she takes a look back at her life with the same sense of humor, wonder and curiosity that makes her movies (including Vagabond, One Sings, The Other Doesn’t, Cleo from 5 to 7) so completely engaging. Much like the collectors of found objects in her documentary The Gleaners and I, Varda collects images and memories from the people and places of her life, from fellow filmmakers Jean-Luc Godard and her late husband Jacques Demy, to the many beaches around the globe that she has called home. “For filmgoers determined to see cinema not just as mass entertainment but as an art form, The Beaches of Agnès arrives like an exhilarating call to arms.” - Ann Hornaday, Washington Post.(France, 2009) Produced, written, directed and edited by Agnès Varda.
