Editorial Review:
Internationally acclaimed filmmaker Agnès Varda's (Vagabond, One Hundred and One Nights) third tribute to her late husband, Jacques Demy, is a loving look at his brilliant vision and techniques. Included are clips from Demy's films featuring Lola, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg and Bay of Angels along with interviews of those who worked with him and knew him best including Catherine Deneuve, Anouk Aimée, Michel Piccoli, Harrison Ford, composer Michel Legrand, Demy's children and fans. The film also includes rare home video footage of the director with François Truffaut and Jim Morrison.
