Yeni Roman hareketinin ve savaş sonrası sinemanın önemli isimlerinden olan seksen yaşındaki Agnes Varda, sık sık işlerinde kendisini kameranın önüne koymuştur. Ama bunların sonuncusu, özgeçmiş niteliğinde bir deneme, yönetmenin bir sahilde geri geri yürüdüğü sahneyle açılan "bir çiçek dürbünü, bir kolaj, bir fantezi" adeta. Sahildeyiz, çünkü biri gelip onu açsa içindeki sahillerin ortaya çıkacağını söylüyor. Yönetmen dostu Chris Marker’ın da elle çizilmiş bir kedi cismine bürünerek anlattığı Agnes’in Plajları, Varda’nın fotoğraflar, eski çekimler, film sahneleri ve günümüzde çekilen sekanslardan örülü yaşamına ve hafızasına dair derin, çekici ve dokunaklı ifadelerden oluşuyor.

Agnès Varda's documentary portrait of her late husband, Jacques Demy. A companion piece to her Jacquot de Nantes.

A pioneering post-war female film director, an instigator of the New Wave who was honored by Hollywood in her own lifetime, Agnès Varda has become a source of inspiration for a whole new generation of young filmmakers. With movies like Cléo de 5 à 7, Le Bonheur, Sans toit ni loi, Les Glaneurs et la glaneuse, she created a quirky, open to the world, sensitive to the disenfranchised, often silly body of work. Always one finger on the pulse, she shook everything up, including cinema itself which she refused to constrict to pure fiction or long-form films.

An account of the life of actress Jeanne Moreau (1928-2017), a true icon of the New Wave and one of the most idolized French movie stars.

She is said to be cold, secretive and mysterious. She has the reputation of not letting anything of her intimate thoughts, her private life, her joys as well as her torments show through. She managed to protect her family, her loves, her choices from the curiosity of magazines and her public. A tour de force for a sixty year long career with more than one hundred and thirty films shot with the greatest filmmakers in the world. However, the raw material for a very personal account of Catherine Deneuve exists: it can be found in the interviews given by the actress from her beginnings until today. They allow us to discover another Catherine Deneuve.

Jacquot Demy, the son of a garage owner and a hairdresser, is fascinated by cinema and decides to pursue his dream of becoming a filmmaker by any means necessary.

Paris, Rue Beautreillis, July 3, 1971. The corpse of rock star Jim Morrison is found in a bathtub, in the apartment of his girlfriend Pamela Courson.

From this "inexorable disease", Hervé Guibert did not recover. The miracle he had so much hoped for did not happen. But, before his death in 1991, three years after learning of his HIV-positive status, he engraved in his literary and photographic work "the places of [his] suffering", "the stations of [his] way of the cross". With his thin body and sunken cheeks, the handsome man with curly hair that he was, the one whose clear gaze radiated from the seaside photos, fought a fierce battle against AIDS. A fight of every moment against the decay of the body, observed and commented with a methodical care in his autobiographical novels, in particular "To the Friend Who Did Not Save My Life" (1990) and "The Compassionate Protocol" (1991), and of which he testified on television on the set of "Apostrophes"...

Jacques Demy’s ability to enchant audiences was rooted in his personal struggles and doubts as a showman, establishing him as one of French cinema’s greatest artists.

Genç edebiyat öğrencisi Anne, bohemlerden oluşan bir tiyatro topluluğuna dahil olur ve Shakespeare’in Perikles oyununu sahneye koyan yapımcı Gerard ile ilişkiye girer. Fakat kısa bir süre sonra zalim (ve belki de hayali) bir komplonun gölgesinde yaşamaya başlar.

Catherine Deneuve couldn’t care less about being a celebrity, but fame made her an icon long ago and she occupies a special place in our imagination. The star is not one to let others get too close, but when she gives you her confidence, she keeps her word. If Deneuve’s career covers a half-century of cinema, it also bears witness to the force of a generation that experienced the deepest transformation of mores. This portrait reflects her entirely. The story of a mystery and an adventure.
