from PhantomTollbooth:
Varda's interviews are so fascinating that you'll be absorbed from the first scene. She also has a wonderfully dry and self-deprecating sense of humor that does wonders to liven the film. When she ponders her own role as a documentarian (a gleaner of images) or her onsetting old age, the result is delightful rather than self-indulgent. And her affection for her subjects is palpable; when she interviews a down-and-out alcoholic who rummages through the garbage, she invests him with a dignity that few others would.
