I say we start a kickstarter to get Agnes Varda her screen and DVD reader

[doomhead]

Agnès Varda is the abuelita i never had, she is the abuelita everybody would want. she is the friend that everybody deserves. i don't know a better person.

[haroun]

The video is short & sweet like Agnes Varda.

RIP Agnes. Your amazing body of work will live on forever. Thank you for being such an inspiration to so many.

[bryceparish]

I hope I can be as energetic, sharp, and active as she is at 89. She's still making films, traveling, and winning awards. What a great video.

[chrischoi]

I can't let you go.. what a huge loss to all cinephiles today. 😭😭😭

This genuinely made me tear up. Agnes has been a massive inspiration for me since I saw The Gleaners and I in film school. I adore all the works by Godard, Truffaut, Resnais but to me it feels like Varda makes her movies with far more heart and compassion for the human will. RIP Agnes

I love how she loves Kiarostami's Taste of Cherry. I don't know why but this warmed my heart.

Give her everything she wants and more. Legend in the closet.

I'm fifteen and starting my film journey!! I don't know much about Agnès Varda, only her two films cleo from 5 to 7 and vagabond, but this video already shows me how much of sweetheart she is! can't wait to watch her entire filmography

[thevoid]

all great picks. she's got amazing taste. then again, she's the godmother of modern-day cinema.

[JoshuaGonzalez-srxy]

Finally saw Cleo 5 to 7 recently. It was great :).
