‘Varda by Agnès’ with Jennifer Jones and Laura Glazer
Episode 22
“If all great filmmakers would make a documentary about their lives right before they died, wouldn’t that be so handy?”
Couldn’t put it better than Jennifer Jones does in this episode. She and Laura Glazer are the co-founders of the Agnès Varda Forever project, and they’re here to talk about “Varda by Agnès” (2019), the final film from world cinema icon Agnes Varda. We dig into Varda’s one-of-a-kind career, suggest starting points for newcomers, and assess what sets Varda’s final film apart of the towering epics that seem to typify this series.

Movie Reviews & Reappraisals
Be Reel was a movie reviewing & reappraising podcast hosted by Chance Solem-Pfeifer and Noah Ballard.
We cherished our 8-year run, talking to filmmakers like Gus Van Sant, insulting each other’s taste, and laughing to high heaven.
Chance’s new movie podcast, The Kick, continues to explore curated sub-genres and movie geekery. Noah is a frequent and beloved guest.
