Yet another fan video made for a Best Coast track. These are so fun! This time we get the new song "When I'm With You", scoring some happy-dappy dance scene from "Les Demoiselles de Rochefort", an old Jacques Demy musical.

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...

A fascination for musicals rooted from Jacques Demy to something more recent like Christophe Honoré. I've really never imagined myself enjoying musicals because I wasn't particularly thrilled seeing Gene Kelly with his song and dance sequences in An American in...

Eighty-one-year-old Agnès Varda, whose first film heralded the French New Wave, looks back at her life and career in a loose, whimsical and emotional documentary, "The Beaches of Agnès." The film is autobiographical but doesn't seem self-centered because so...

A shambling 1969 walkabout through the Venice and Hollywood sections of Los Angeles with music by proggy psychedelic band Spirit, “Model Shop” is not for everyone. Shot in gorgeous “Perfect Color” by the late Jacques Demy with dialogue by Carole Eastman (“Five Easy Pieces”), it’s a departure for the most traditional of French New Wave [...]

From 10.23 through 11.9, BAMcinematek is running a series of 1962 films. It's partially about celebrating the 75th Anniversary of the New York Film Critics Circle, and also about making up for the fact that the NYFCC didn't present awards that year due to a newspaper strike. NYFCC chairman Armond White, the apparent architect of the series, has written that 1962 "was equal to Hollywood's fabled...

I spent a week at the Toronto film festival--more on that in a post coming up next week--and then came down with 'festival exhaustion'. Now I've now been catching up on all the Internet movie reading I missed in the last few weeks.

Good luck wasn’t always with blonde French beauty Isabelle Aubret: In 1963, Jacques Demy and Michel Legrand had chosen her for the lead role in Les parapluies de Cherbourg , but then she had a severe car accident and La Deneuve took over. Though she had won the Eurovision song contest with the melancholic Un premier amour a year earlier, Aubret never was a pop starlet, but a true chansonette....

This patchwork self-portrait charts the life and work of the French New Wave director Agnès Varda: it's basically "bits of memory, jumbled up", interwoven with her special fondness for the Belgian coast where she grew up.
