Agnes Varda ranked

A work in progress as I make my way through Criterion’s box-set. Some will be rewatches.


First watch of the marathon: Varda by Agnes. My least favorite, but still overall good.

Second: La Pointe-Courte. Remains fascinating in form and story.

Third: Cleo from 5 to 7. It still doesn't grab me as much as I want it to, but this second watch made me really appreciate the formal experimentation and character development Varda does in the second half.

Fourth: Daguerrotypes. A cute, charming cinema-verite documentary of Varda's neighborhood.

Fifth: Le Bonheur. Loved this clever take on male narcissism even more the second time around.

Sixth: The Creatures. An interesting concept, but cold experience.

Seventh: Lions Love. A real, pretty dud.…
