Biography
She directed more than forty pieces, including documentaries, short films and feature film-fiction films. Her background in cinematography allowed her to capture the small details of the reality that surrounded her. Her first movie was La pointe courte, where the influence of Rossellini is perceived. Her first movies portrays the impact of the french new wave, where Cleo de 5 à 7 (1961) is one of the more importants. The second phase of her work begins with May 68, where critics say she was influenced by the optimistical spirit of the time. Happiness (1965), The Creatures (1966), Lion's Love (1969) questions the rigidness of the bourgeoisie. One Sings, The Other Doesn't stands out with a jovial style, transforming the feminist fights in a kitsch colored dance. One of her most prominent works was The Vagabond, starring Sandrine Bonnaire, giving life to a vagabond that lives in the fate of the streets. In the movie cohabited actors and the local people, which spouted a new trend in the contemporary realist cinema, headed by the Dardenne brothers and Ken Loach. Black Panthers (1968), Daguérrotypes (1975), Murs, murs (1980), Jane B. par Agnès V. (1987), Cinéverdaphoto (2004), The Gleaners and I and its sequel Two Years Later are considered to be masters of the genre of historic testimonies and of the pass of time according to the critic. In 2017 she presented her movie Faces and Places, made alongside the artist JR, and in which she proposes the intertwining between documentary, play and social experimentation of her cinema.
