Unbelievably jealous of the children of Varda and Demy.
Moments in this film that make it worth watching:
- Varda and Demy conceiving the plot of A Slightly Pregnant Man by joking about how much Varda loved being pregnant
- Jim Morrison and Francois Truffaut filmed by Agnes Varda, visiting the set of Donkey Skin
- Demy's face when an interviewer mentions The Umbrellas of Cherbourg
- Fairly unbelievable footage of a modern train travelling through Nantes, with the score of Une Chambres en Ville playing
- Harrison Ford remembering how Demy cast him as a young unknown upstart in 'Lola in LA' and how, consequently, Ford introduced Varda and Demy to The Doors
- Demy and Michel Legrand figuring out the score to Les Demoiselles de Rochefort in real-time
- The clever little linking edits Varda figures out to connect each film to the next
