I saw this fantastic documentary by Agnes Varda last week. Its a documentary about her life and as she was involved with photography, French New Wave Cinema and had the knack of being at all the crucial parts of history its a wonderful lively personal history. I came away hoping that I will have as rich a life as Agnes (she is 80) and have adopted her as my style icon. The trailer is here . Do go...

This week I caught up with Anges Varda's The Beaches of Agnes (2 screens), which -- if nothing else -- is a strong contender for the year's best documentary. Of course, it helps if you know who Agnes Varda is, or at least have a passing interest in her work. She was associated with the French New Wave, and made her movie directing debut, La pointe-courte (1954), years before Francois Truffaut or Jean-Luc...

Samuel Fuller's directorial debut, , is now available for free at .This is one of my favorite Westerns. Not only is it great fun, but its also surprisingly psychologically astute. It focuses more on the inner turmoil of Robert Ford, after he guns down his friend and partner, Jesse James, in exchange for a reward and judicial immunity. Unlike in Andrew Dominick's masterful The Assassination of Jesse...

At one point Varda is telling us about the narrow mews in Paris where she lived for much of her adult life. She parked her deux-chevaux at the end, and had to manoeuvre intensely to get it in and out. Has she got a bit of footage which will show this amusing detail? If she has, she’s not revealing it. We see her behind the wheel of a cardboard car, which she is manifestly pulling along herself,...

"I'm playing the part of a little old lady," says Agnés Varda, walking backwards against the sunset on one of the many beaches to feature in her latest, autobiographical film, Les Plages D'Agnés. I wonder what part she is playing for me today as she bumbles about the offices of her U.K. distributers, Artificial Eye, poking into different rooms, smiling amiably. "I'm not...
