An intimate documentary vignette from Agnès Varda featuring the people who patronize the shops around her home in Paris, where she has lived for 50 years. Each scene is limited to the 300-foot radius around Varda’s house, where she filmed while she cared for her 2-year-old son.

Slant Magazine by Jesse Cataldo
Like many of Agnès Varda's similarly themed explorations, the results are more than they initially seem, casual anthropology with a strongly humanist bent, resulting in a film that's fueled more by compassion than curiosity.
