Au revoir to a French film legend

Posted Wednesday 03 Apr 2019

The wonderful Agn�s Varda has died, aged 90. The French director was the oldest ever Oscar nominee, and was best known as a key figure in the French New Wave and for a string of documentaries that culminated in an Oscar nomination for Faces Places in 2018. We love the story of how Agn�s was unable to attend the Oscars nomination lunch, so she sent along several lifesize cardboard replicas of herself!
