PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Rebecca J. DeRoo is Assistant Professor in the Department of Performing Arts and Visual Culture at the Rochester Institute of Technology and the author of The Museum Establishment and Contemporary Art, recipient of the 2007 Laurence Wylie Prize in French Cultural Studies. She co-curated the retrospective, Agnes Varda: (Self-)Portraits, Facts and Fiction, at the George Eastman Museum (2016).
DeRoo's book provides a yet untold counter-reading of Varda's works. Her interpretations are acutely attentive, acknowledging the many sites of emotional, generic, aesthetic, and political complexity that arise as a result of Varda's use of multimedia. * Women in French Studies * DeRoo's nuanced approach yields altogether new understandings of key works in Varda's oeuvre. . .the readings in Agnes Varda: Between Film, Photography, and Art reveal both the breadth and depth of Varda's artistic sophistication and political acumen. * ASAP/Journal * DeRoo's work is a welcome and significant contribution to scholarship on a still too-neglected filmmaker and has much to offer those wanting an introduction to Varda and key issues animating critical reception of her films. The book is a well-researched, accessible, and timely addition to expanding scholarship on Varda as a pioneering and dynamic French filmmaker whose multifaceted oeuvre is central to ongoing and urgent debates about feminist film practice, filmmaking as an intermedia art form, and the ethics and aesthetics of documentary practice. * H-France *
