Overview
The interests, obsessions, and fantasies of two singular artists converge in this inspired collaboration between Agnès Varda and her longtime friend Jane Birkin. Made over the course of a year and motivated by Birkin’s fourtieth birthday—a milestone she admits to have some anxiety over—Jane B. by Agnès V. contrasts the private, reflective Birkin with Birkin the icon.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A delightfully inventive portrait of Jane Birkin made by a fellow artist-friend, weaving together archive, fantasy, and direct conversation to explore the gap between the woman and her famous image. It's a meditation on aging and identity wrapped in the playfulness of two creative minds in conversation.
