Viewing Notes

Well this is just wonderful. The description does a disservice to what this film is about. Love the time period and seeing this side of Los Angeles. Hearing and seeing this rich history documented in artwork is quite serene. It would’ve been neat if Varda did an entire series like this featuring all the major cities.
