Rave Rec: The Beaches of Agnès / Les Plages d'Agnès

Just Netflixed a wonderful movie, The Beaches of Agnès by Agnès Varda. For every media fan wanting to exercise your brain, her work is delightful. She's been taking still pictures and movies in the heart of French avant garde since 1950. She is a pool shark with a camera, playing all the anglers. This movie is an introspective, dream-like, retrospective of her youth, her influences, her triumphs, her age (she's in her 80s), some name-dropping, an elegy to Jacques Demy, and three rainbow's worth of colors. Also, many beaches on many oceans. I was entranced.

There's a YouTube trailer
