Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

Agnes Varda was an amazing filmmaker.  Her last film, "Faces Places" was delightful, playful and full of what makes us older gals interesting:  collaborating with and understanding youth (she worked with the artist JR on this film), letting her own buoyant nature bubble up with playfulness, her ability to engage with all kinds of people, and her self exposure as the director.  You come out of the movie smiling.  Her half gray half magenta hair tops a body short and chubby and solid.  This woman is grounded.  Of course she could relate to the blue collar workers she highlights in this film.  Her empathy and openness are refreshing.  You trust her.  She had an extraordinary life, and influenced many artists.  She lived long and prospered.  She was becoming more and more famous each year.  And she did it all her way.
