VARDA BY AGNÈS, the beloved filmmaker’s final film set to open November 22 alongside career-spanning retrospectiveJanus Films announces the theatrical release of VARDA BY AGNÈS, the final work from the late, beloved filmmaker, which will open on November 22 in New York at Film Forum and Film at Lincoln Center, followed by a nationwide rollout.To coincide with the release, Janus Films will also mount a touring retrospective of Varda’s work, the most comprehensive to date, featuring more than 30 films from the filmmaker’s 60-plus-year career. The retrospective will begin December 20 in New York at Film at Lincoln Center.“Agnès Varda’s final film is a canny valedictory by one of the greatest filmmakers ever to wield a camera,” said Peter Becker, a partner in Janus Films. “Her tremendous creativity, determination, and empathy only increased over the seven decades she spent making cinema, and with VARDA BY AGNÈS, she turns the lens on herself, taking us on her own cinematic journey. It is a quintessential Varda film that not only gives us new ways of looking at her life and work, but new ways of looking at the world. Agnès was a friend and mentor to many of us at Janus Films, and we are especially happy and honored to join with Rosalie and the Ciné-tamaris family in celebrating her legacy with this grand retrospective.”Titles included in the retrospective are: AGNES DE CI DE LA VARDA (2010) THE BEACHES OF AGNES (2008) LE BONHEUR (1964) CLEO FROM 5 TO 7 (1961) DAGUERREOTYPES (1975) DOCUMENTEUR (1981) THE GLEANERS AND I (2000) THE GLEANERS AND I: TWO YEARS LATER (2002) JACQUOT DE NANTES (1990) LA POINTE COURTE (1954) LION’S LOVE (…AND LIES) (1969) MUR MURS (1980) ONE HUNDRED AND ONE NIGHTS (1994) ONE SINGS, THE OTHER DOESN’T (1976) VAGABOND (1985) WORLD OF JACQUES DEMY (1993) YOUNG GIRLS TURN 25 (1992)Short Films ALONG THE COAST (DU COTE DE LA COTE) (1958) BLACK PANTHERS (1968) ELSA LA ROSE (1965) FIANCES DU PONT MACDONALD (1961)LION VANISHING (2003) L'OPERA MOUFFE (1994) PLEASURE OF LOVE IN IRAN (1976) SALUT LES CUBAINS (1963) SO-CALLED CARYATIDS (1984) ULYSSE (1982) UNCLE YANCO (1967)WOMEN REPLY (1975) YOU’VE GOT BEAUTIFUL STAIRS, YOU KNOW (1986) 7P., CUIS., S, DE B… (1984) -- source link
