The Beaches of Agnès (2008), The Edge of Seventeen (2016), Stardust Memories (1980), Tape (2001), Right Now, Wrong Then (2015), Super 8 (2011), Elvira: Mistress of the Dark (1988), Mr. Bean's Holiday (2007) ... Let's take a look at the ranked list of the best Film Festival movies.
Storyline: At nearly 80, Agnès Varda explores her memory - growing up in Belgium, living in Sète, Paris, and Noirmoutier, discovering photography, making a film, being part of the New Wave, raising children with Jacques Demy, losing him, and growing old. She explores her memory using photographs, film clips, home movies, contemporary interviews, and set pieces she designs to capture a feeling, a time, or a frame. Shining through each scene are her impish charm, inventiveness, and natural empathy. How do people grow old, how does loss stay with them, can they remain creative, and what do they remember? Memory, she says, is like a swarm of confused flies. She envisions hers for us.—<jhailey@hotmail.com>

This divergence quickly becomes an issue of contention between the two.
