The Beaches of Agnes

Exploring the Memories of a Legendary Filmmaker

A reflection on art, life and the movies, THE BEACHES OF AGNES is a magnificent film from the great Agnes Varda (Cleo From 5 to 7), a richly cinematic self portrait that touches on everything from the feminist movement and the Black Panthers to the films of husband Jacques Demy and the birth of the French New Wave.

Nominated for the Allan King Documentary Award at the Toronto International Film Festival. Winner of the Best Documentary Film at the Cesar Awards.

"Varda, free from fear and shame, turns her tale of a life lived in art into a work of art in its own right...a rapturous tribute to life itself." - Richard Brody, The New Yorker

"A puckish, moving and wonderfully eccentric tour through her life." - Dave Dalhoun, Time Out
