Agnès Varda Was a Living Work of Art

Forever blurring the borders between art and life, work and play, fact and fiction, Agnès Varda was a mother of reinvention, as much living artwork as pioneering filmmaker and proto-feminist icon. Remarkably, Varda reinvented herself in later life as a socially conscious documentary maker and visual artist, balancing DIY nonfiction films like The Gleaners and I (2000) with colorful, playful, witty art installations. She also rounded off her directing career in majestic style with two joyous, quirky, visually ravishing documentaries, the prize-winning The Beaches of Agnès (2008) and her swan song film, Varda by Agnès (2019).
