Me gusta mucho como se ve, los planos, el color la textura. Pero siento que solo tiene valor estético, en lo demás no me atrapo.

i read about this and went to rue daguerre before watching the docu. apart from varda’s house  (which, by the way, doesn’t even have a plate) i wasn’t that impressed. there’s something about the 14th: not flashy, but full of names of which you can still feel the echoes, the ghosts. still, i wasn’t sure what made it special. then, after watching it, i realised: rue daguerre is your street, it’s mine, it’s everyone’s. it’s the relatability of anonymity, the ordinary turned sacred. it’s the reason why paris is cool: if you blend in, the city is yours, but you’re hers too

Varda by way of Wiseman. There’s a similar streak of interest in process here though Agnes is obviously much more interested in the actual lives of these shopkeepers than Frederick is with his docs. I do still think Agnes’s docs work best when she herself is implicated as a subject in them either as narrator or key player. Still, there are some truly lovely sequences here like the magic show that make this an intriguing look into an otherwise banal subject for a doc, a trick only she can pull off so masterfully.
