The brief years that French New Wave force Agnès Varda spent in California during the 1960s, 70s, and 80s yielded a body of films that reflect life in America as only an outsider could see it. Chronicling the people, politics, and landscapes of Los Angeles, San Francisco, and beyond, Varda’s California works reveal an artist alternately playful, reflective, and endlessly curious about her surroundings.
