So for those confused, some level of context on their relationship and the French language could help clear it up. Basically, Agnes Varda and her husband were friends with Jean-Luc Goddard, when Agnes' husband died, Jean-Luc left a pretentious note which was just the name of the restaurant where they used to eat. Agnes didn't appreciate that and there was a rift between them because she wanted to him to leave a note/say something more than just that, she was offended by his simplistic response and Goddard knew this. As a result, when Agnes went to see him he left her the same note she got upset about and refused to see her as a joke/to be petty. The fact that he left the same note there signifies that they talked and he was expecting her to come, but refused to let her in because he was still pissy about the rift because of the note and decided to be petty by saying it again even though it hurt Agnes because it wasn't enough and caused the rift.

She left a beautiful answer. Give me your pencil is ironic. She's mocking him and his references by this reference to an old popular french song, which is beautiful and poetic (and also has a hidden sexual meaning, by the way, but it's surely not relevant here). The name of the man in the song is Pierrot, who is an archetypal figure of the sad clown, and a reference to Pierrot le fou. Varda replaces Pierrot by Jacquot. Then she is mocking his memory, which is actually either resentment, rancour. And she adresses it to the artist JLG, not to Jean-Luc, because she is really kind.

Are we sure he was trying to hurt her? So the three of them used to eat (and probably enjoy a friendship) there at this "Ville de Douarnenez" restaurant. Godard writes “to the Ville De Douarnenez” when Jacques dies. Was that to hurt? For me it's like trying to evoke those past memories of their friendship. And then he writes now again on the glass to remind her of the importance of their friendship to him, despite perhaps not being able or not predisposed for whatever reason to see her. Or maybe he wasn't willing to see her after too long through the excuse of a camera and a film and felt a bit offended by that. Why are we so sure he was trying to hurt her?

Godard has his moments, but you can definitely sense his misanthropic tendencies through all his movies. He wants his characters to die or live sad, meaningless lives. And some of his stuff hasn't even aged well or isn't that deep anymore. Varda made documentaries on the marginalized and important leaders (ie Black Panthers), films that brought meaning in sadness and had a unique female gaze in a male dominated movement. I saw her at an event shortly before she passed away, she was so humble. Her talent will live on ❤️

So, for some context; Godard had already told the team who helped Varda for the film that he didn't want to appear on the movie (and the reason, even, was somewhat of justified: he thought that by appearing right through the end of it, it would make it a little less Varda, and he would be the focus, which he did consider unfair). The crew, then, decided to not tell Varda about it, wishing to capture her "authentic" expression about it. Godard did never wish to be cruel or attack Varda by any means, and if there's fault to somenone, it relies on the crew who decided to not tell a 89 years old woman and make her suffer in front of the camera just because they wished for "authenticity"

To be fair, and Agnès said so a couple years later, it made for a better movie that Jean-Luc acted like such an asshole here. Dramatically his actions spawned a very emotional scene, even if it hurts as heck seeing the sweet treasure Agnès Varda being hurt to tears. 😢 So since Varda's documentary film became stronger, one could argue that she had the last laugh. She went on to reveive an Oscar nomination for best documentary for this. Godard never received an Oscar nomination, although both him and Agnès were honored with a Lifetime Achievement Oscars.

This is the climax of the film, which is also made by Varda, as she and JR go to visit French filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, whom Varda knows personally. For whatever reason, Godard refuses to come out, and JR shows Varda his face off screen to try and comfort her. (I copied and pasted this from another comment, I haven't seen the documentary myself)

Contexts are important. JLG and Varda had been friends for over 60 years at this point. Everyone who knows JLG knows that he has, for his entire life, communicated aphoristically and, here, to Varda, cryptically, yet with a great deal of particularity to and for her. Notice that Varda has zero difficulty interpreting what Godard had conveyed. The reference to the restaurant “could” be a complex of emotions, positions, memories, the constellation of their friendship precisely etched on that glass. However, at the same time, Varda and her friend are clearly making a doc [from which this clip was pulled] and therefore trying to compel JLG take part in it. He doesn’t owe that to her or anyone, just as no viewer owes it to be a part of someone else’s enterprise if they choose to decline. Varda knows this and she is playing for the camera. She didn’t have to include this footage. One has to ask, Why, then, did she and co-director choose to use it? Her personal friendship with Godard could have been conducted on the phone or, perhaps, privately in person, off camera. Varda went out not only to buy a brioche but a permanent marker. In this context, for 5 Euros Varda had a scene.
@drparnassus2867
Жыл бұрын
Not quite: Godard agreed to meet up with her then stood her up. I think it's worth remembering that in the 1970s he offended Francois Truffaut with a similarly cryptic message... then after Truffaut died, said he regretted their rift and paid tribute to his old friend... then, with Varda, he made the same mistake all over again. Keeping journalists at arm's length with aphorisms and cryptic utterances (to maintain your privacy, or perpetuate a mystique around yourself, or whatever) is one thing, but doing it with your oldest friends is another.
@leoquesto9183

@@drparnassus2867 All that is clear is that Godard expected her arrival, hence the prepared message - yet, meet with her, not necessarily her camera. That’s the point here. Truffaut doesn’t belong to this discussion. Conflation aside, Godard, who’s not only active but vigorous at 91 in Rolle, remains averse to human commodification - recall that across all periods of his work, prostitution is a primary motif - and this could not have been lost on Varda. Point still stands: she was trying to capitalize on their friendship. Even in his absence, she did. The scene is disingenuous and its existence is curious.

Minor effort may reveal a more nuanced grasp of the scene and its parts. My initial post addresses your assumptions. Primary is the guided, implicit assumption that Varda is not a manipulator in the scene she constructed. How odd. Consider how films are built. Fallacies such as ad hominem attacks, like the video’s title and your repetition of it here, are designed to precondition perception. Hence, the animus in all these responses correspondingly follows in step with AV’s message of being a victim of JLG’s mistreatment instead of inviting greater scrutiny. Why is this problematic?
