The Complete Films of Agnès Varda (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray]

I'm guessing I'm the first one to review this because at this point, most people have not had a chance to watch all of the films in this collection yet. Neither have I, but I've read through the included book and watched several features and shorts in the Blu-ray boxed set. Everything is logically arranged, packaged, and easy to access (physically and on the disc menus).As for the content and quality of the films themselves, you will not be disappointed! Most of Varda's work is home grown and low budget, so you won't see high-detail and bursting colors in the new restorations, as most of the original work was never like that. (Her old films were restored in 2K or 4K between 2013-2020.) But as writer and director of almost every film she made, her creative personality shines through. Many share themes of self-exploration, social justice, and local color around the beaches and towns of France.[EDIT, December 2021]: I apologize for mentioning in my initial review that Nausicaa (1971) is not included, because it is. However, I've done a more thorough search through the box set and have noticed 3 or 4 missing shorts, most likely because they are licensed through other agencies. I'll update this review when I have more answers about those titles![/EDIT]

This collection of movies is very wonderful.

Anything by Agnes Varda is fantastic! this box that has everything by Agnes Varda, doesn't get any better!

product as described, thank you

This is a divine treasure for cinephiles. Thank you Amazon for delivering it super quickly as opposed to Criterion themselves. I’m just saying Criterion has amazing products that can be purchased at their storefront here and delivered quickly (next day). Whereas, if I had ordered direct from Criterion it would have taken over a week.Agnès Varda blessed us with cinema, documentaries, art, art installations, recycling, repurposing and much more. This is the best way to experience her stories, art, friends (French Moviestars).

I LOVE how The Criterion Collection had both Boxsets of Jacques Demy and Agnes Varda, I have both of them now and they always remain a lovely couple of Cinema in the afterlife and through the end of time. To Conclude, Agnes Varda is one of the most inspiring feminine champions of Cinema to be known.

Just like the Bergman collection and probably the upcoming Fellini one, this is a great boxset

Can’t go wrong with a set this comprehensive and of this quality
