A celebration of cinema’s centennial, One Hundred and One Nights finds Agnès Varda at her most playful. It is also perhaps her unlikeliest project: a star-studded comic fantasy with an extravagant sense of style and an adoring but slightly off-kilter perspective on the magic of filmmaking. French New Wave icon Michel Simon is a mysterious aging impresario named Simon Cinéma who has hired a young film student, Camille (Julie Gayet), to simply sit with him at his mansion and talk about movies. Skeptical yet increasingly enchanted, Camille bears witness to cinema itself coming to life, allowing Varda to wittily integrate a mind-boggling parade of appearances by screen legends (Catherine Deneuve, Marcello Mastroianni, Jean-Paul Belmondo, Anouk Aimée, Robert De Niro, and many others), and attest to the vigorous health of the movies at the close of the twentieth century.

Michel Cinema’s in love with cinematography and so he keeps narrating scenes from the most well-known but also the oldest movies ever made, each scene more beautiful than the next. This really makes you feel the love for cinema that each and every one of the characters in this movie have. I was just sorry that it was the only thing that kept the movie going, because the story itself was practically nonexistent and so the sad and melancholic Mr. Cinema keeps on reminiscing about one beautiful scene after another. All of that is mixed with his loose commentary and an unnecessary storyline of his little helper. But even despite that, I still believe that it’s something so incredible when it comes to French cinematography that it’s worth seeing. That’s also why I must thank the user playboxguest for allowing me to have such an experience thanks to her subtitles.
