Jane B. Par Agnes V. / Kung-Fu Master! (region A blu-ray)

Two films by Agnes Varda starring Jane Birkin. Jane B. Par Agnes V. abandons the traditional bio-pic format, favoring instead a freewheeling mix of gorgeous and unexpected fantasy sequences. In each, Jane inhabits a new character, playing a cat and mouse game with Varda as they explore the role of the Muse and the Artist. Kung-Fu Masters! is truly a family affair: Varda's son with the director Jacques Demy, Mathieu Demy, plays Julien - and Birkin appears here with her two real-life daughters: Charlotte Gainsbourg and Lou Doillon, her child with well-known filmmaker Jacques Doillon. A lovely, bittersweet companion to Jane B. Par Agnes V.
