Agnès Varda

At 90, Agnès Varda suddenly finds herself exalted as a role model for women in film; a fashion icon; loved by the art world — never mind her 40 films as a pioneering director. In the past 18 months she has received an Oscar, been nominated for another, and created a new artwork for the Liverpool Biennial.
