In the 1970s, model, actress and singer Jane Birkin was a high-flying sex symbol, but her friend and confidante Agnès Varda saw more than the iconic face and figure captured in the lens of the era’s fashion magazines. In this unusual, endlessly surprising biography, Varda explores the full possibilities of the two-dimensional portrait, and sneakily creates one of the great feminist films of the era.
