| FilmjourneyDoug CummingsA portrait that is at once a love letter to the movies, a critical perspective on one of its celebrated artist's, and a personal tribute. |
| User ReviewPrivate UA fascinating film by Agnes Varda and one where all Jacques Demy fans should watch. |
| User ReviewMike MC'est un film singulier: Agnes Varda fait un film sur la vie de Jacques Demy. Le re'sultat est charmant, me'lancolique et surtout, cine'phile. C'est un hommage qu'Agnes a fait a' son mari mais aussi a' l'amour au cinema qu'ils partagent. Me^me la fin du film est un peu me'diocre.. les inserts des films de Jacques Demy sont de'licieusement jolis, l'alternance entre les plans en couleurs vives et ceux en noir et blanc est cre'ative... |
| User ReviewRob LA charming, albeit unapologetically sentimental film from Varda, depicting her husband's youth in the Breton city from the years immediately prior to the Second World War through the Nazi occupation and into the postwar years. Jacquot is a precocious youth obsessed with the cinema and eager to break free of his father's orbit (although the old man is far from an ogre). It's a blissful existence, despite the encroachment of the odd Nazi, and one could perhaps level accusations that the movie whitewashes the worst of the era. But, to a kid, it's likely that fantasy would have been uppermost in his mind in relation to reality, so such harping would be churlish. The film includes interviews with Demy (dying of AIDS at the time) and excerpts from his own films including The Umbrellas of Cherbourg . |
| User ReviewCate HA beautiful homage to Varda's late hustband, Jacques Demy. Interlaced with Demy's own films, this is a heartwarming look into his childhood and what inspired his films. Makes me anxious to see his work. |
| User ReviewDoug NA nice Demy retrospective, although it probably would have been a bit more meaningful if I'd seen a few more Demy films before I saw this. |
| User ReviewTara CLike sitting through all of his movies back-to-back without an ice cream, or a toilet break. |
