The Beaches of Agnes By Agnès Varda

The movie “The Beaches of Agnes” produced by Agnès Varda – a true embroidery woven around her life long artistic character and role model as a humor.

“A highly mature lady, nicely chubby and chatty,” Agnes Varda, 81, narrates her stories in the autobiographical movie “The Beaches of Agnes”. Movie fans, those are conversant to the Varda’s works (The Gleaners and I, Vagabond, Cleo from 5 to 7) would be happily prepared to make their commendation for her greater contribution.

Yet this petite lady, the merely woman who has elevated to a revered stage of the French New Wave Member, is something apparently isn’t plausible. A movie aptly dedicated to this writer’s life recollections and memoirs, she reaches to a stage like self-belittling, amusing and remarkably amiable.

Using a freedom of choice approach, Varda reviews the favorite scenes of her youthful era that stimulated her innovative mania and narrates an amazing account of her personal history that encompass not merely documentaries yet snappy, political penchant, motherliness and matrimony (to Umbrellas of Cherbourg director Jacques Demy, who expired in 1990 by AIDS).

Though there are sporadic performances of lively scenes in her life, The Beaches of Agnes is preeminent, at such time, Varda plainly recounts a fable, like the one about compelling Jean-Luc Godard to take away his ubiquitous sunglasses so that, this can be assisting to her ‘to get snaps of his handsome eyes.”

Filled up with excerpts and tales, The Beaches of Agnes is something, a depiction of delight to anyone yet to everyone, those already admire Varda’s documentaries and a complete briefing for such people who are in the process of exploring and discovering her romantic or literary contributions (available on DVD).

This film is also an inspiring limerick to a life aptly lapsed, narrated by a lady whose elderly age hasn’t proved a barrier and didn’t stop her to contribute towards her faculties of humor, artistic character, and contribution to quixotic manias.
