Agnès Varda unleashed in the Criterion Closet

“We know that we’re dust, and that we come back to dust”

Agnès Varda

Agnès Varda running rampant in the Criterion Closet. Her picks are below:

An Angel at My Table – Jane Campion

Sweetie – Jane Campion

Taste of Cherry – Abbas Kiarostami

La Promesse – Dardenne Brothers

Bande à part – Jean-Luc Godard

Tiny Furniture – Lena Dunham

The Marriage of Maria Braun – Rainer Werner

The biggest surprise? Tiny Furniture. Though Lena Dunham’s feature debut does have a French New Wave quality to it.

“Give me a screen. Give me dvd reader. And I do.”
