Movie Haiku:Cesar-award-winning first-person doc tied to the 80th birthday of French screen legend Agnès Varda. Starts slow & wistful, but builds to powerful, life-affirming conclusion as Varda recounts her intense private & professional collaborations with filmmaker Jacques Demy (who died of AIDS in 1990.
