Viewing Notes
More Varda. Wonder if there’s been a biopic about Huey Newton. I’d like to see it. Actually would like to watch any narrative feature films about the Black Panthers.
Gotta say that I was amusing myself while viewing this thinking of Agnès Varda right in the middle of this rally filming the speeches and songs and getting interviews with everyone. Pretty cool to see this.
