Het Documentaire Paviljoen: De Spiegel
Subtitled in English, French spoken, Introduction in English
Departing from an almost 30-year-old photograph, Agnès Varda makes a moving voyage through time. Who are the people in the photo, and how do they look back on that day? These questions lead us into the twilight zone between memory, fact, and fiction.
With admiration and a fresh feminist perspective, Varda explores the caryatids of Paris—sculpted figures of women who appear to be supporting parts of buildings on their heads. She connects them with the poetry of Baudelaire and the music of Offenbach.
