I've noticed that more people ...Why thank you! I've noticed that more people have been following your blog, too!<br /><br />Anyhow...Agnes Varda WAS part of the French New Wave. People just don't like to include her because, unlike the more popular New Wave directors like Chabrol, Godard, and Truffaut, she wasn't a writer for Cahiers du Cinema. <br /><br />But here work was just as important to the movement as anyone elses. <br /><br />If you want to explore the work of this incredible director, try the following:<br /><br />-La Pointe Courte (Her first and, many would argue, her greatest)<br />-Cleo from 5 to 7<br />-Le Bonheur (My personal favorite)<br />-Vagabond<br /><br />Her latest film, "The Beaches of Agnes" is also worth checking out. It's basically a reflection upon her entire career. It's absolutely incredible.<br /><br />She's still alive and kicking, but sadly, she has decided to retire from filmmaking. <br /><br />If you want to claim a general knowledge of the French New Wave, then you HAVE to explore Varda's work.<br /><br />Thankfully, "The Gleaners and I" is on youtube. The version on youtube is in French with Spanish subtitles:<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gcduo8-GjFs&feature=watch_response_revNathanael Hoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08959797971471060052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3856798792320939017.post-61739318401531080892011-01-15T10:07:51.275-08:002011-01-15T10:07:51.275-08:00Wonderful review, I was completely unaware of this...Wonderful review, I was completely unaware of this film up until now, looks like I'm going to have to find it somewhere!<br /><br />I had never heard of Agnes Varda before, what did you mean by "Grand-Mother of the French New Wave" did she participate in it or did she just influence it?<br /><br />and BTW, i've been meaning to say this for a while but I keep forgetting for some reason: congratulations, your number of followers has increased considerably and I'm glad more people are following your excellent blog!Jack Lhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14558083317361098572noreply@blogger.com
