i love you, agnès, and i'll fight jean luc godard for you.

Agnes Varda Now Going Door-To-Door Trying To Delight People

the amélie of documentaries?

jean luc godard is a dirty rat

i’m agnès sitting while JR does all the work

Friendship ended with JEAN-LUC GODARD
Now
JR
is my
best friend

Agnès Varda: i’m just a tiny lady with a lot of love in my heart for everyone!!!! Not you godard you can go choke.

I need there to be a TV series wherein Agnès Varda and JR wander the world in search of the mysterious JLG. At the end of every episode, he leaves a cryptic, taunting clue. Like The Fugitive, but with art and sunglasses.

Cute and endearing, but I think the parts that are obviously over-dramatized really didn’t work for me. And once you get the crux of what this tour is going to be, it feels like you’re fighting against the urge to find it a liiiiiiiil tedious. But remember, I also called it cute and endearing!

88

The first step of a healthy world: conversation. Varda and JR drive through France - a place, like any other, which has changed and will continue to change - and *talk* to people. They consider their values, hopes, stories, and regrets. And no matter who they are or what they stand for, the camera is open to them, and so are Varda and JR. That Faces Places could be considered naive or saccharine is misguided - it's just the initial handshake and face-to-face encounter which matters here, and the faces they capture, the art they create, is limited, specifically, to the time and perspectives they've shared. Their journey finds significance in how much they accomplish in recognition of individuals, communities, and spaces. It's how Varda sees and JR gains experience and how one of the art-pieces washes away in the surf - the acceptance, and kindness, in being.

It's really nice to tear up from nothing but the utmost pleasantness for a change.

A film that feels like a random, small gesture of kindness that you'd casually witness on the street and give no particular thought about, but later fondly reminisce as the organic demonstration of unassuming righteousness that everyone kind of involuntarily craves to keep going. Just ridiculously delightful and life-affirming without remotely feeling like it's too hard, or in fact, spectacularly sympathetic exactly because of it. Confirms what I always knew at heart, that Godard's shittiness knows no bounds, and that I desperately need to get into Agnès Varda's filmography. I'll be thinking of that moment where a factory worker magnificently nonchalantly defines the whole concept of art in a simple rhetorical question and wishes everyone a nice day for a long time.

What a trip! Impossible not to love and another fantastic work by Varda. This dealt with so many subjects, from friendship, to art, to love, to aging, yet it never felt like it but off more than it could chew. And honestly, I’m only not giving it a 5 because I just don’t feel like it gets there for me currently. But this sure made my week a lot happier.

This was beautiful and wholesome. I want to deck Godard in the fucking face too.

sobbing i need five hundred more hours of this agnes varda i love you miss you

annemm gez gez çok yorulmuşsundur bunu çekerken kıyamam sana

Agnes Varda is truly a gift to humanity

What better way to commemorate Jean-Luc Godard’s 90th birthday than to watch a film by a far superior filmmaker/icon of the Nouvelle Vague, that he could’ve been in if he wasn’t such a dirty rat?

Viva Varda! (et JR!)

feliz aniversário godard de presente você ganhou uma passagem diretamente pro inferno seu filho da puta

Such a fun and wholesome movie. I have been meaning to get into the work of Agnes Varda and I'm glad I finally did. This is just a great idea for a movie and a better advertisement to travel to France, looks so cool here.

Jean Luc Goddard wouldn't answer the door for Agnes Varda and that just makes me hate him more.

Jean Luc Godard you fucking scumbag

One of the better roadtrip movies out there. Great chemistry between the two.
