Agnès! What an incredible woman. I have not seen so many of her movies / documentaries but every single time I do I am in love with her work. Everything she does is done with so much humility and kindness. This latest movie, still showing in quite a few cinemas, is a kind of autobiographic documentary on the eve of her 80th birthday. She gets to share a glimpse of her life that saw her moving from the beaches of Knut-Le-Zout to New York. She witnessed so many Art movements and Artists. Most of them now dead. That is the emotional element of the movie but it is with pleasure we cross the path of individualities as different as Jim Morrison, Catherine Deneuve, Jim Morrison or Yolande Moreau. And of course the biggest emotion comes along with every mention of her late husband, Jacques Demy. If it had not been issued last year this could easily have been my movie of the Year!
