THE BEACHES OF AGNES (LES PLAGES D'AGNES) (18, 112 mins) Released: October 2 (UK, selected cinemas) Revered filmmaker Agnes Varda reminisces about her formative years as a stage photographer and her contribution to cinema's French New Wave, She talks candidly about her life with Jacques Demy, her family and her feminist views, intercutting these anecdotes with excerpts of her films, still images and reportages.
The movement was influenced by the French new wave of Godard, Truffaut and Rohmer, that included Room at the Top, Saturday Night and Sunday Morning, and A Taste of Honey.
The author uses interviews with family members, film crews, financial backers, personal friends and even Godard's "enemies" to reveal his radical social views, business acumen and strained relationships with fellow artists from the French New Wave movement.
