Agnes Varda`s 1991 tribute to her late husband, Jacques Demy is a moving combination of reenacted scenes from Demy`s childhood, clips from his movies, and filmed interviews with him shortly before he passed away. Varda`s efforts lead to a touching and evocative portrait of a man who saw, even as a boy, no distinction between his imagination and the more magical traditions of theater and film. The cast of unknown actors portraying Demy and other people in reconstructions of his memories are very good, and the inclusion of these scenes in Varda`s larger biographical essay instantly recalls the intensely personal nature of Demy`s own ambitious experiments behind the camera.
