The legendary French filmmaker Agnes Varda, whose remarkable career began in the 1950s and has continued into the twenty-first century, produced some of her most provocative works while living on the West Coast of the United States. After temporarily relocating from France to California in the late sixties with her husband, Jacques Demy, so that he couId make his first Hollywood fiIm, Varda became entranced by the poIitics, youth culture, and sunshine of the San Francisco and Los Angeles areas, and created documentary explorations and fictional narratives-sometimes within the same film. She returned a decade later, and made more fascinating portraits of outsiderness. Her five reveaIing, entertaining California films, encompassing shorts and features, are colIected in this set, which demonstrates that Varda was as deft an artist in unfamiIiar terrain as she was on her own turf.

Lions Love (. . . And Lies) (1969)
