With Jane Birkin, we had a scene from a film called Jane B. by Agnรจs V. - a portrait I made in '87. We had a casino scene, surrealistic, in which we had some naked people gambling. Jane Birkin was the card dealer and I was the player. I had beautiful jewelery around me, and when I lost I would take the jewelery and say, Service - being very generous, because it was very expensive jewelery. I would say, Tip.
Agnes VardaIf you know nothing, it could be like an enemy in a way. I think that's the way I felt when I was young.
Agnes VardaI was nineteen and I put a bowl on and I said, Cut around! Because it was not the fashion at the time when I did that hairdo - and I kept it all my life!
Agnes VardaAn old woman I loved very much when I was young - the wife of Jean Villard - she's just reciting poetry all the time, which is beautiful because it means she went back to the world of poetry that she loved when she was young. That's all she does - she almost doesn't recognize her children, but she recites Valรฉry and Baudelaire. So what? We're the ones who are suffering. She's not.
