Movie

Jane B. by Agnès V.

1988 · 99 min

A playful, reflective collage that drifts between interview and invented scene, charming and gently wistful, asking you to wander with it.

Directed by: Agnès Varda
Genres: Fantasy
Starring: Jane Birkin, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Philippe Léotard

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