As mentioned and emailed, the Bijou is screening The Beaches of Agnes by Agnes Varda, the internationally beloved and respected French geriatric female filmmaker. She's been making international hits since the French New Wave. She's always fun to watch and so are her movies - art and entertainment, what more could we expect of film?
Also, Beaches has been getting monster reviews - http://www.newyorker.com/arts/reviews/film/the_beaches_of_agnes_varda
Be there or be square. You can see it between this Thursday and next Wednsday at the Bijou, but the panel discussion - and myself - will be at the Sunday 5:10 showing (panel after movie).
