Video Version of this Article Photo/Video: Agnès Varda/Hollywood Insider YouTube Channel When I was a teenager beginning my journey into Cinema history, I quickly discovered that many ‘classics’ didn’t appeal to me as every film critic said they should. ‘Rocky’, ‘Taxi Driver’, not even ‘The Godfather’ did it for me. And then I stumbled into the works of Agnès Varda, beginning with ‘Cleo from 5 to 7’. This film was a revelation. Despite the film being made in 1962, it felt refreshingly modern, relevant, and distinctly and completely female; a side of film canon that often gets pushed aside or treated as an afterthought. This auteur made films for over half a century that has and will stand the test of time. She often featured in her documentaries with her distinctive two-tone hair and playful manner. Her films showcase her curiosity and willingness to explore the boundaries of Cinema.
