Agnès Varda is such an original spirit. You can't label her in one genre.
Her latest documentary on het own life is such fun. She invents cinematographic images to show the stages of her life. One of them is the beach where the water meets the sand and the two of them shapes the form of the other. That is how she sees her lief.
And therefor she orders a load of sand in front of het house and of her workcompany both lacated in a street in Paris, so that is the Beach of Agnès. They work together on the sand for a few days so Agnès can film it as a symbol of het lief and of how she works. She has a little handcamera and she invents nice images to symbolise the things that were important for her in her life, now she is 80 years. But also she films her 'objets trouvées', her found objects and makes poetry of it.

On top of this beautiful 'The Beaches of Agnès' you get three of her movies.
Its a document of the past 5 decennia, that is very worthwhile to have. and I am only very happy to have discovered this collection box on Amazon.co. uk

5.0 out of 5 stars Jacquot de Nantes 9 Aug 2011
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I'm only reviewing this film at this time, because it's the only one of the set I've watched so far. The eponymous Jacquot is, of course, Varda's long-time partner Jacques Demy, best known as the director of the marvellous 'Les Parapluies de Cherbourg'. Varda's film is a wonderful evocation of Demy's childhood in the town of Nantes on the river Loire,a growing-up which he recalled with great affection and which inspired much of his work. His father ran a garage and from the same premises his mother worked as a hairdresser and young Jacques (or Jacquot his childhood diminutive) was destined to end up as a mechanic in the family business. The film details how he became enchanted by a local puppet theatre and by the cinema and his determination and struggle to become a film maker in spite of his father's opposition, spending hour after hour in the garage loft making paper figures and filming them using stop-go animation.
It's a magical recreation of childhood and comparable to Bergman's Fanny and Alexander, but what's really terrific about Artificial Eye's two Varda box sets is that they come loaded with extras, and not of the superfluous kind. For example, Set One's 'The Gleaners' disc also includes the two hour film Varda later made when she revisited the subject.

Here extras include Demy's early film, the 35-minute Le Sabotier Du Val de Loire, about the clog maker who features in the film, but what's most wonderful and essential after viewing the film is the 16-minute interview with Varda. She recounts how, in 1990, with Demy dying, she made the film of his childhood he was too ill to make.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Joy to Watch 2 13 Jan 2012
Format:DVD
I already knew Agnes Varda's films and had watched them with great pleasure over the years. For those who don't, you're in for a treat if you purchase the entire collection. One of the least known is The beaches of Agnes, a film she made when she was 80 years old -- one of the greatest self-portraits of all times.
