Episode 6. Daguerréotypes (1975); Rue Daguerre in 2005 (2005); L'Opéra Mouffe (1958)

Happy birthday, Agnès Varda! To celebrate this May 30, please welcome back the stellar Susan Huyett as we discuss Varda's tribute to her neighbors in "Daguerréotypes." We also discuss her follow-up "Rue Daguerre in 2005" and her thematic precursor, "L'Opéra Mouffe."

Episode 5. Uncle Yanco (1968); Lions, Love (...and Lies) (1969)

Joined by the wonderful filmmaker and new friend Courtney Bush to discuss two defining works from Varda's California chapter: Uncle Yanco (1968) and Lions, Love (...and Lies) (1969). So much to unpack in both films, but we kept the conversation relatively short and sweet because we know your time would be better spent watching these movies!

An engaging, welcoming, and intelligent look at the films of Agnes Varda. Alma and their guests approach these films with love, reverence, and a fresh and open-minded view. A worthy listen for both those who are familiar with Varda’s work and those coming to it for the first time. Can’t wait for more episodes of Agnes by Alma!
