Agn's Varda, a pioneer of the French New Wave, has been making
radical films for over half a century. Many of these are considered
by scholars, filmmakers, and audiences alike, as audacious,
seminal, and unforgettable. This volume considers her production as
a whole, revisiting overlooked films like "Mur, Murs/Documenteur"
(1980--81), and connecting her cinema to recent installation work.
This study demonstrates how Varda has resisted norms of
representation and diktats of production. It also shows how she has
elaborated a personal repertoire of images, characters, and
settings, which all provide insight on their cultural and political
contexts. The book thus offers new readings of this director's
multifaceted r?veries, arguing that her work should be seen as an
aesthetically influential and ethically-driven production where
cinema is both a political and collaborative practice, and a
synesthetic art form.
