Description
Agnès Varda: A Life of Complicated Passion This lively biography explores the life and work of Agnès Varda, one of the most acclaimed female filmmakers of all time. With a career spanning sixty-five years, Varda wrote and directed some of the most influential films of her era, including Cléo from 5 to 7 and The Gleaners and I. Carrie Rickey delves into Varda's three remarkable careers - as still photographer, filmmaker, and installation artist - revealing how she pioneered the blurring of documentary and fiction, using digital technology to carve a path for women in the movie industry. Rickey also examines Varda's impact on contemporary filmmakers and her candid approach to addressing issues such as sexism, labor exploitation, and social justice. Through Rickey's insightful biography, A Complicated Passion sheds light on Varda's rich social life, including her nearly forty-year marriage to director Jacques Demy, and her connections with influential figures of the time.
