#LesCréatures One of #AgnèsVarda least-seen films is also one of her most fascinating: an eccentrically imaginative science-fiction fantasia that touches on #HumanNature, #FreeWill, and the #CreativeProcess. Working with major stars for the first time on a feature film, Varda casts #MichelPiccoli as a writer and #CatherineDeneuve as his silent wife, a couple who relocate to the island of #Noirmoutier (a longtime second home for Varda and her husband, #JacquesDemy) where strange goings-on hint at a sinister force controlling the minds and actions of the residents. Slipping between “reality” and fiction, genre spectacle and avant-garde experimentation, Les créatures is a beguiling, endlessly inventive exploration of the mysterious alchemy that transforms life into #Art.
