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.

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.
@@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.
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
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 ive watched the aforementioned + faces places, the beaches of agnes, and daguerréotypes. I very much like her work, especially faces places and the beaches as her lovely self is in it
@@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.
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...
All great picks with one glaring exception: the first execrable feature of Lena Dunham. But then, that's the one which Madame Varda hadn't seen beforehand, so it's an innocent mistake.
@@ankitaishwarya5586 - Yeah, Agnes Varda. She was an influence to french new wave. Calling her "the godmother of modern-day cinema" is a ridiculous stretch though.
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
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.
My acting teacher starred in AN ANGEL AT MY TABLE, I'm over the moon at this pleasant surprise that she would choose that particular film. I loved it as well.
She is a great director and by no means inferior to other Nouvelle Vague auteurs. It makes me feel bad that I haven't watched many of her films as she is also a really inspiring filmmaker.
@@waynej2608 But now she's becoming overrated, especially after the Sight and Sound Poll snubbed Resnais, Chabrol, Rohmer, Demy, and other French luminaries such as Malle, Eustache, Duras, Melville, Franju, and others. Was Varda so momentous that she deserved two films and none from the above?
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.
I just found this right now! Amazing Anes Varda... I love her so much!! And!! She picked An Angel At My Table!! That's woooooow!! This film changed my life so I'm living in New Zealand now. Wowowow! I wanted to watch it before her past away... My most loved film was on the hand of my most loved film maker. Bit late but Thanks!!
Her "Le bonheur" is still a very thought-provoking film, as it asks, can a man love two women at the same time? Also, watch Truffaut's "Jules and Jim," which asks the opposite question: can a woman love multiple men at the same time? Europeans are still much more advanced when it comes to dealing with these issues in a mature and artistic fashion.
God, she speaks like a sweetheart.
She is a wonderful woman. A sweetheart, you're right.
I agree. Very un-french
@@ggthewhale She was belgian
@@luismarioguerrerosanchez4747 belgian...who has lived all her life in France...and was very "french" by nature.
Like a sweetheart...but she was not!...she had a strong personnality and was very hard as a director.

No bullshit. Straight down to business. Crisp 112 seconds.
Hehe, at first I thought: WHAT? Only 1:52 ? Varda shows up and we only get 1:52? But hey, I'm happy,
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.
I say we start a kickstarter to get Agnes Varda her screen and DVD reader
Jon Pettas I’d bet she has a tv - I think she was trying to articulate the fact that the disks are region locked.
Eric Wilke aw geez, thanks bro. Knew I could count on you. Thanks.
Lmao :'D
@@redpenink12 too late
@@pettaspro hello my g what’s up three years after?
The video is short & sweet like Agnes Varda.
Nooooo... I can't let you go.. what a huge loss to all cinephiles today. 😭😭😭
I hate all her films lol
cause you are a loser@@leonconnelly5303
And you couldn’t find anything else to do except come on here and post that you hate her films. I will pray that your life gets better. Lol
@@leonconnelly5303 what is your favorite movie?
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.

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

RIP Agnes. Your amazing body of work will live on forever. Thank you for being such an inspiration to so many.
I love how she loves Kiarostami's Taste of Cherry. I don't know why but this warmed my heart.

Godard has NO heart for the human will. If Agnes' fought with a rose, Godard would fight with a AK47
Give her everything she wants and more. Legend in the closet.

She directed every aspect of this video. She even created an opportunity for a sequel with the request at the end. Brilliant.
I'm crying 😭. What an inspirational human being!
her hair is great, what an incredible woman
all great picks. she's got amazing taste. then again, she's the godmother of modern-day cinema.

Finally saw Cleo 5 to 7 recently. It was great :).
Yes, one of my faves and as good a film as Godard's "Breathless," made about the same time.
I saw it the other day - I was not fucking prepared for how great it was.
I didn’t understand it
Just signed with Mubi and I'm exploring her filmography. I've just watched La Pointe Courte and I'm looking to watch Cleo de 5 a 7 next.
I just watched Cléo 5 to 7 on Curzon Cinema. Twice; because it was as magnificent as I expected.
I saw Agnes Varda two days ago in Downtown Brooklyn & today you post this!
Love you, Varda!
Why would anyone dislike this video?! Agnès Varda is a living legend.
Lovely to see her so vibrant at 89!

God, she's so wonderful! The kind of person you just want to talk with at a cafe for an entire evening.
Her voice is so calming and beautiful
Rest in peace, legend. Film would not be the same without you.
As one of you said: "Cleo 5 to 7" is one of her inspiring and intelligent films. Not to forget "La Pointe Courte" with Noiret's first appearance.
Great picks by a great filmmaker.
I love this woman and her taste in movies I saw her in London once she was lovely
Such an amazing director and a wonderful person to boot!
She is the cutest little daisy! I will remember her, endlessly! 🖤🌻

I love this woman with all my heart.
I really can't stop looking at that Olivier boxset. I wanna cry. I want them.
I love how at the end she admits she doesn’t have a DVD player
She seems like such a sweet lady, and her charm really came through. Can’t wait to watch Cleo From 5 to 7 and some of her other work
shes like, literally perfect
"Band of Outsiders" is one of Godard's best films, I love it too
I just saw Taste of Cherry and it changed my life - I RECOMMEND IT SO MUCH!!
My favorite director from The French New Wave. I wish she had talked about another ten movies.
rest in peace agnes varda 💕✨
The idea that an 80 something year old Agnès Varda watching and loving Girls is surprising and joyous. She was THAT cool. RIP
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.
God.
when she says "intelligent". My cup of tea dropped on floor for its incomprehensible cuteness.
Ms. Verda can i be your grandson? please?
Very few know, but she did the best film of 2017: Visages, villages (faces places). The best movie experience I've have in a long time.
Holy fuck, you reeled in a big one, Criterion. Legend.
My acting teacher starred in AN ANGEL AT MY TABLE, I'm over the moon at this pleasant surprise that she would choose that particular film. I loved it as well.
It's one of my all time favorite film. Incredibly moving, incredibly well made and acted. I think it may be flawless.
Come si fa a non amarla.Buon Compleanno stellare Agnès!Grazie per la sensibilità,semplicità ed armonia che hai immortalato su pellicola💗
I discovered Agnes Varda far too late. Just when I was getting to know her, she was gone. I miss her spirit and her sweetness.
It's so sad, but it's never too late to enjoy the works from the greats that are no longer with us.
We miss you so much Agnès
She is a great director and by no means inferior to other Nouvelle Vague auteurs. It makes me feel bad that I haven't watched many of her films as she is also a really inspiring filmmaker.
Buttoneye you should watch her films, the films of Marguerite Duras, Jean Eustache and Straub & Huillet
kenneth merced calo thank you very much, I haven't heard of them yet but they all seem to have many films that make me curious to watch

this is the most adorable thing I may have ever seen in my life
