Agnes Varda and Susan Sontag
- Synopsis
- This filmed conversation explores the cinematic thinking of film directors Agnes Varda and Susan Sontag, who were among the small group of artists represented in the seventh annual New York Film Festival (1969). Here they discuss their ideas and their films with Jack Kroll, senior editor at Newsweek Magazine. Excerpts from the work of both women illustrate the conversation as Varda and Sontag talk of their aesthetic and the similarities in their films: both are concerned with the problems of tortured personalities, politics and the grotesque in everyday matters.
