Agnès Varda in the spotlight
Agnès Varda is showing up everywhere these days. The latest issue of V Magazine finds her interviewed by the Museum of Modern Art's senior film curator Laurence Kardish, and in The Los Angeles Times, Dennis Lim also interviews the so-called "mother of the French New Wave" (in her words, "an early bird of that spring"). Lim praises her "quietly seismic debut," La Pointe Courte, as does Nicolas Rapold in The New York Sun, who calls it the box set's "big rediscovery...an astonishing work that flaunted the New Wave one-two of maverick reinvention and budget-rate independence."
