Our take

In memory of Jane Birkin, we take a playful walk down memory lane with Agnès Varda and the great chanteuse and actor. In artful tableaux, chameleonic disguises, and the opulent chambers of her Parisian home, Birkin reflects with singular pleasure and insight on the splendidness of being a muse.
