This afternoon Yann showed me his friend's short film about growing up in Brittany. The style was very personal and simple - lots of hand-held stuff. I thought of Agnès Varda as I watched it, and how much I enjoyed studying her films in that one film subject I made such a mess of at uni. I thought I'd quite like to see more of her films, and the thought of spending my Australian summer hunting down Varda DVDs made me excited to be coming home.Then I mentioned her to Yann. Yann told me she lives on his street. Agnès Varda lives on his street. She has a studio near the Vietnamese place on the corner. The day I went with Yann to get bo bun in said Vietnamese place, she was actually sitting there enjoying her lunch, and I missed her.
Definitely moving to Paris.
