Review by Ray Durgnat on

We pretend that works of art, or even artists, are immortal; death is apt to be sentimentalised or paraphrased by violence (i.e., reduced to a merely social problem). Agnès Varda has taken up the challenge, restored death to its actual place at the hub of our lives, without falsifying the 'remoteness' with which we apprehend it.
