Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Agnès Varda was the only female director interviewed—she outlived most of her male contemporaries and kept working until her death at 90.
This doc arrived just as the New Wave was being canonized in American film schools, making it both documentary and marketing for the movement's legacy.
