Jane B. by Agnès V.
Jane B. par Agnès V.
The interests, obsessions, and fantasies of two singular artists converge in this inspired collaboration between Agnès Varda and her longtime friend the actor Jane Birkin. Made over the course of a year and motivated by Birkin’s fortieth birthday—a milestone she admits to some anxiety over—Jane B. by Agnès V. contrasts the private, reflective Birkin with Birkin the icon.

Presented by A1 Art CafeAn intimate portrait of Jane Birkin, filmed a few years after her split with Serge Gainsbourg. Eschewing the typical interview format, Agnès Varda orchestrates a visual conspiracy of metaphorical sketches where Jane and other New Wave stars — from Jean-Pierre Léaud to Varda herself — constantly shift masks and roles. It is an inventive, stylish, and funny piece of filmmaking that echoes the energy of 'Everything Everywhere All at Once.' French audio with Russian and English subtitles. 4K screening.
