Agnes Varda's Beaches of Agnes Opens At NYC's Film Forum

Wednesday July 1, 2009
Legendary French filmmaker Agnes Varda's autobiographical documentary, The Beaches of Agnes (Les Plages d'Agnes) releases theatrically July 1, 2009 at Film Forum in New York.

Varda's cinematic memoir is a brilliant 'menage' of archival footage, photo montages and reenactments along with some extraordinarily inventive elements that deliver Varda's recollections and musings on her life, loves and art in as a complete package of compelling impressions.

At age 80, Varda has a lot to tell, and she recounts her story with a panache that's both intoxicating and inspiring.

Watch the trailer and read my full review.
