The Beaches of Agnès, Dir. Agnès Varda

Hello readers,

I will be taking a break from writing this newsletter for a while, in order to focus on new fiction. I’ll be back, but I don’t know when. Could be a while! Until then, paid subscriptions are paused. The archives are open, as always, and I’ll be lurking on substack as a reader. You can also find me on letterboxd.
