左岸派電影有幾個鮮明特色,其一是經常以意識流形式把人類的精神過程搬上銀幕,並放置回憶、遺忘及想像等潛意識活動。受伯格森直覺主義影響,左岸作品經常透過非理性敘事進入意識深處,並重新定義真實,藉此擺脫人類生活裡如法律、道德和習俗等等的理性約束。1954年,安妮華達拍出了具有意識流味道的初試啼聲之作《短角情事》,將一對男女散步、呢喃、煩惱及爭辯等過程推展成一部實驗電影。

“I live by my own standards—not by men’s.” She was a director, a cinematographer, a poet, an installation artist, a key figure of the French New Wave. She was a woman. She filmed her muses, scavengers, drifters, distant uncles, lost lovers—and herself. She wandered through the Left Bank of Paris, strolled down Rue Daguerre, flew to San Francisco and Cuba, and eventually returned to the beach she loved most. She was Agnès Varda. This August, Giloo presents 14 handpicked works by Varda—black and white, color, documentary, fiction, film stock, and DV. Two years after her farewell, we invite you to once again meet her—at her sharpest, and her kindest.
I gave you my youth in exchange for the fresh hope of a new year— Whether it belongs to the past, or to the future still unknown, there are things the wind has left behind: no trace on the surface, yet etched deep within. If we call that youth, it feels just right. To run, to cry out—for the sake of youth. To leave something behind through music and film, to take something in return. And in the process, to become—without regret—someone better.
