Jacquot de Nantes
Why this pick
Varda’s tender recreation of Jacques Demy’s childhood is an especially intimate companion: tactile black-and-white memories, music, craft, and a loving sense of how a filmmaker is formed.
03
Faces Places
Why this pick
Its warm, mischievous road-movie encounters and love of ordinary people carry Varda’s same generous cinematic spirit, with art-making treated as a form of connection.
04
The Young Girls of Rochefort
Why this pick
For the Demy side of Varda’s tribute, this is his most exuberant expression of colour, music, romantic longing, and carefully composed everyday spaces.
05
The Gleaners & I
Why this pick
A nimble personal essay that turns looking, collecting, and chance encounters into cinema; it has the same intimate, curious voice that makes the Demy documentary so alive.
