Overview
In this kaleidoscopic film made of various fragments of fictions, over various seasons, Jane Birkin plays various roles, including her own, with humour. Deeply moved by Agnès Varda’s film Vagabond, Jane Birkin wrote to the director in 1985 to express her feelings. In return, Varda dedicated a ‘cinema-portrait’ to the British singer/actress. A true directing gem, between documentary and drama, and a poignant homage to Jane Birkin.
