- Notes:
- Made early in Agnès Varda’s career, this lushly shot Eastmancolor short was commissioned by the national tourism board to promote the medieval castles of the Loire Valley region. It deviates from the standard travelogue format by making room for witty asides, lyrical montage, and the filmmaker’s abiding interest in everyday working-class people.
