Ithaca Premiere
2019 > France > Directed by Agns Varda
With Agns Varda, Sandrine Bonnaire, Herve Chandes
The final film from the late, beloved Agns Varda is a characteristically playful, profound, and personal summation of the director's own brilliant career. Suffused with the people, places, and things she loved...this wonderfully idiosyncratic work of imaginative autobiography is a warmly human, touchingly bittersweet parting gift from one of cinema's most luminous talents. Cosponsored with the French Studies Program. Subtitled. More at janusfilms.com/films/1944
