| | Review - Agnes Varda |
| | Smith notes that Varda's film Ulysse, which I have not seen, consists of a commentary on a photo of a highly mythologized naked man and boy, with a dead goat in the foreground. | | | Agnès Varda herself, of course, falls astride these apparently distinct categories, being unquestionably well established, with forty-five years of filmmaking behind her, yet little known to anglophone filmgoers. | | | They are also always positive, which relates perhaps to her close association with Varda, who read through the manuscript before publication. |

| | She has however developed her own notion of cinécriture, which she describes as the process of ciné-writing, but in the most broadest of senses: editing style, voice-over commentary, choosing the place, the season, the crew and the light (11). | | | Varda portrays herself as a collector of images and 'right brain' ideas: “There are many ways of being poor, having common sense, anger or humour.” (4) | | | Agnès Varda has always been ahead of her time - in filmmaking technique and style and also in political commentary. |

| | Varda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Varda is said to be too beautiful for words; within her face radiates the light of Iluvatar. | | | The Valar, being divine beings below a greater, more ultimate Creator, Ilúvatar, are thought of as being the Middle-earth equivalent of saints and angels; it has therefore been suggested that Varda, in her role as the most loved and prayed-to Vala, may be an equivalent of the Virgin Mary in Tolkien's own Catholic faith. | | | When Melkor first began to create his discord, Varda saw his mind, and hated him. |

| | And just as Varda questioned her sense of identity with the onset of age in 2000's "The Gleaners and I," "Ulysses"' subjects' "self-predatory memories" prevent recognition of their past selves in an early photo by the filmmaker. | | | While they may not add up to a totally satisfying feature or coherent statement, it's certainly more interesting to see the pieces in this context as well as a reminder that most of the French filmmakers of her generation were also prolific short-makers and would be well served by similar such collections. | | | Rare is the compilation film that brings together a filmmaker's disparate works to create a representative artistic statement. |

| | Varda does not seem to reach enlightenment as a separate entity, as man has contended for centuries, but rather through connection and appreciation of others. | | | LE BONHEUR (1965) is the haunting tale of a young, happily married man who takes on a lover not despite his happiness but because of his happiness, unwittingly changing his life and those of his loved ones forever. | | | At 25, with no real knowledge of filmmaking, Varda decided to make her first film. |
