Agn s Varda, a pioneer of the French New Wave, has been making radical films for over half a century.
About the Author Delphine B n zet teaches comparative literature in the School of Languages, Linguistics, and Film at Queen Mary, University of London..
The book thus offers new readings of this director\'s multifaceted r veries, arguing that her work should be seen as an aesthetically influential and ethically-driven production where Cinema is both a political and collaborative practice, and a synesthetic art form.
It also shows how she has elaborated a personal repertoire of images, characters, and settings, which all provide insight on their cultural and political contexts.
This study demonstrates how Varda has resisted norms of representation and diktats of production.
This volume considers her production as a whole, revisiting overlooked films like Mur, Murs/Documenteur (1980-81), and connecting her Cinema to recent installation work.
Many of these are considered by scholars, filmmakers, and audiences alike, as audacious, seminal, and unforgettable.
