Simon Cinéma (Michel Piccoli) is one hundred years old and lives alone in a mansion. As his memory is beginning to fade, he hires a film student to help him reconstruct his past through reminiscences of movie history. With a star-studded cast that includes Robert De Niro, Jane Birkin, and Marcello Mastroianni, Varda’s film becomes a clever, lighthearted excursion through cinema’s most magical moments. (Agnès Varda, France/UK, 1995, 101 min.) In French with English subtitles
