Intro to Agnes Varda

In this course we’ll discuss the legend, the myth, the bowl cut… of the one and only Agnès Varda. A multidisciplinary mother of the French new wave, documentary realism, and experimentalism, and described by Martin Scorsese as one of the “Gods of Cinema”. Varda is an icon for a reason. This class will provide an introduction and overview to Varda’s career through the lens of four representative works.
