A collection of three short cineessays by Agnes Varda: Ydessa, The Bears, and etc. (2004), Ulysses (1982) and Salut les Cubains (1963). A photographer before she turned to film, Varda explores the medium's ability to preserve a moment for eternity, while remaining open to an array of interpretations that evolve over time.

New York Daily News Elizabeth Weitzman

A masterful collection of cinematic essays.

Salon.com Andrew O'Hehir

Varda's photography is a pure joy, but rereleasing this film four decades later, absent any commentary on the ironic distance between then and now, is a typically challenging gesture.

Variety Lisa Nesselson

Varda renders the political personal and the personal universal.

Village Voice J. Hoberman

A work of great charm and bold aesthetic impurity, Agnès Varda's Cinévardaphoto is a suite of documentary shorts.

The New York Times Manohla Dargis

The unutterably charming Cinévardaphoto brings together three short works by the filmmaker Agnès Varda, one shot in digital video, the others on celluloid.

Entertainment Weekly Owen Gleiberman

What lights Cinèvardaphoto is Varda's ageless ability to merge her spirit with that of the images she shows us.

The Hollywood Reporter Frank Scheck

Although Cinevardaphoto is hardly a major work, it does represent the latest (and earlier) chapters in the career of a fascinating filmmaker.

TV Guide Ken Fox

A welcome introduction to yet another facet of an artist who continues to beguile well into her seventies.

The Onion (A.V. Club) Noel Murray

Someone as attuned as Varda to the quality of an image should know that a flat, disposable medium like video makes images harder to internalize.

New York Post Russell Scott Smith

Sitting through three totally unrelated documentaries in a row -- with all that puzzling (subtitled) dialogue and those long (enigmatic) silences? That's a migraine waiting to happen.
