Hello. Sorry to bother you, but given the content of the coaster from canmom's post, if you don't mind answering a stupid question: so, on ARTE's website there's a bunch of Varda's films currently (there were more of them, but some expired), so what would be a good start where it comes to watching her filmography?

Hi!

I tried to have a look on the ARTE website but the selection available for her in the UK is just 1 film and I'm not sure what's available in other regions so I will just give my general recommendations.

Cleo from 5 to 7 (1962) is probably her most well known and most critically acclaimed film and, being one of her earlier films, is also probably a good starting place. It follows a singer in Paris through two hours of her life while awaiting the results of an important medical test. I think it's a great example both of Varda's influences as part of the early French New Wave as well as the seeds of her unique style of blending documentary and narrative film-making techniques.

The Gleaners and I (2000) is, I think, as good an introduction as any to her pure documentary films. It discusses the practice of 'gleaning', or going to pick over fields after the harvest to find any edible produce that has been left behind, but ultimately discusses a wide range of issues around consumption and waste. I think it is a great showcase of not just her stream-of-consciousness documentary style (in a similar vein to documentary filmmakers like Werner Herzog or Patricio Guzman) but also of her deep curiosity and passion for humanity in all its expressions. I think Gleaners also gives more of a picture of her playful and sometimes subtle sense of humour, which I think is very important in appreciating some of her other films (Le Bonheur, for example, I think is very easy to misinterpret as an entirely sincere depiction of its subject matter if you're not familiar with her).

Vagabond (1985) is my personal favourite film of hers (and also just one of my favourite films of all time in general). It follows the last few weeks of the life of a homeless women, depicted entirely through the eyes of the various people who saw her last. Being made nearer to the midpoint of her career I think it shows her style in a more matured form than in Cleo, blending documentary style film-making with narrative segments in a way that feels very hard to classify (it's not a 'mockumentary', a narrative film made in a documentary style maybe?) and really unlike almost any other film I've seen.

I also want to shout out Tribute to Zgougou the Cat which is a very short film she made about her cat, that is available free on youtube and is delightful.

I hope this helps! I think Agnes Varda is a really wonderful film-maker with a very wide range of films across different styles and genres, so I think wherever you go from this starting point will be rewarding. I think her strengths across all of them are her ability to find the human stories in any subject matter, and to know just the right amount of her own authorship to inject into them.

Zgougou Pudding: A Tunisian Tradition Born from Adversity

Zgougou pudding, or “Assida Zgougou,” is a beloved Tunisian dish, particularly enjoyed during the celebration of Mawlid, the Prophet’s birthday. What sets this dish apart is not just its unique taste, but the rich history behind its creation, a story rooted in survival during one of Tunisia’s most challenging times. The Origins: The 1864 Uprising and Famine The tradition of consuming zgougou…

Hayatımın hatasını yaparak en üstteki topu aldım. Zgougou denilen bir şeyle yapılıyormuş, sanırım kozalaktan elde edilen bir ürün. Ama diğer iki top 👌. I bought the first ice cream roll from the top by doing the mistake of my life. It is made from a thing called Zgougou, i think it was a produce obtained from pine. But the other 2 rolls was 👌. #fastfood #fastfood #kfc #chicken #mashhad #instafood #foodporn #fastfood #chips #yummy #delicious #breakfast #realfastfood #foodlover #beautiful #prettyfood #night #icecream #zgougou #crunch #lights #dondurma #lezzet #gezgin #gelato #gelato #travel (La Marsa) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bpqp6LwhqD2/?igshid=1xuep7fm861qp
