Jacquot de NantesThe first of Varda's moving tributes to her late husband Jacques Demy is a wistful, emotional and eloquently joyous valediction for a much-loved filmmaker and soul mate.
Shot just prior to Demy's death but released after, this evocation of the director's youth (based on his own recollections) is a Proustian memory-work that summons and situates his formative experiences.
One of the most beautiful, eloquent and loving tributes by one filmmaker to another.
