Happy 80th, Agnès V.

Une bonne soeur

Today Agnès Varda turns 80. I suppose I don't know how to salute with sufficient gratitude this genius, this sage, who draws inspiration out of every single life's heartbeat — anyone who's seen Les Glaneurs et la glaneuse [The Gleaners and the Gleaness, 2000] or Les Glaneurs et la glaneuse... deux ans après [The Gleaners and the Gleaness... Two Years Later, 2002] or Uncle Yanco [1967] already knows the shape of the jigsaw piece I'm considering. All I can say, maybe, is — Agnès, today I covered my west-facing living room windows in colored Reynolds Wrap because the 2pm-6:30pm hours have been far too white; makeshift gel filters, then, and giant 3D glasses, too. Probably your salute to the sun, Uncle Yanco, was in my mind. And in my heart, as well.
