Top 10 Agnès Varda Films
Born in Belgium and raised in France, as her family left Belgium in the midst of World War II for her mother’s hometown, Agnès Varda would become one of the most prolific French filmmakers of her period. Trained in photography and the arts, Varda utilized this background in the ’50s to become a director, making her debut in 1954 with La Pointe Courte. Despite often being associated with the artistry of the French New Wave, Varda actually began her work years before the greatest hits of French cinema and the French New Wave appeared on screens domestically and around the world.
