The Beaches of Agn%C3%A8s

The Beaches of Agns French Les plages dAgns is a 2008 French documentary film directed by Agns Varda. The film is an autobiographical essay where Varda revisits places from her past, reminisces about life and celebrates her 80th birthday on camera. She has said that it will most likely be her last film.

... It is at once an illustration of the fine art of foraging and an autobiographical portrait, narrated by its selfdescribed little old lady, pleasantly plump. ... Ms. Varda is picking through the world, close to home and far afield, finding images that please her and give her pause ... that she scrutinizes with rue if no obvious regret. But here the emphasis is on her own life and the images and memories that, with time, have blurred together. ... The images are as delightful, unexpected and playfully uninhibited ... At one point, she says she thinks of all men who look at the sea as Ulysses shes an aquatic soul, but shes every bit the wanderer. Whether shes roving a beach with a camera or rummaging through flea markets, she seeks and finds, gleaning the word means to collect and examine what this world of wonders has in store.
