Review: The whole package - I'm guessing I'm the first one to review this because at this point, most people have not had a chance to watch all of the films in this collection yet. Neither have I, but I've read through the included book and watched several features and shorts in the Blu-ray boxed set. Everything is logically arranged, packaged, and easy to access (physically and on the disc menus). As for the content and quality of the films themselves, you will not be disappointed! Most of Varda's work is home grown and low budget, so you won't see high-detail and bursting colors in the new restorations, as most of the original work was never like that. (Her old films were restored in 2K or 4K between 2013-2020.) But as writer and director of almost every film she made, her creative personality shines through. Many share themes of self-exploration, social justice, and local color around the beaches and towns of France. [EDIT, December 2021]: I apologize for mentioning in my initial review that Nausicaa (1971) is not included, because it is. However, I've done a more thorough search through the box set and have noticed 3 or 4 missing shorts, most likely because they are licensed through other agencies. I'll update this review when I have more answers about those titles! [/EDIT] Review: Great set - This isn't region locked so don't let it put you off. Perfect collection of one of the greatest

Beautiful entryway to French New Wave
If you were ever interested in binging some French New Wave film, then this boxset is perfect for you! Agnes Varda was a key player during the French New Wave and era and beyond, not to mention she is a female director in a male dominated industry. In this set you’ll experience a range of films from narrative, to more documentary styled features. The more you watch, the more you fall in love with the way Varda views the world. This is a definite must buy for Boutique physical media collectors as it is premium feeling with tons of special features and shorts.
