^ It's a sad state of affairs and the reason why I still own Predator (1 & 2) on DVD and have never upgraded. At least with the UHD you could adjust the brightness/contrast/saturation on your TV.
Varda by Agnes (2019)
Agnes Varda made her last film a retrospective of her own work. She talks through a semi chronological list of her feature films, documentaries, shorts and art installations, mixing a live lecture, with commentary to camera and beautiful film clips. At one point an interviewer/critic says what he thinks one of her films is all about and she emphatically says "no" and instead explains what it meant to her. As an empathetic observer of other people, it's curious that she choose to be the observer of own life. It's both a joy for fans of her filmography and a great guide to the thinking behind conceiving and shooting a movie. I ordered the Criterion complete Varda boxset soon after this doc finished because there are some of the films mentioned that I just have to see.
