More So-called Caryatids

About This Movie

So, there's this little gem from Agnès Varda called More So-called Caryatids. It’s like a snapshot of Paris’s architectural poetry, really. The film is super short, which might throw some off, but it captures these stunning caryatids scattered around the city. The pacing is gentle, almost meditative. You’re just there, admiring the stone figures, each one telling a story, yet they all share this quiet presence. Varda’s unique touch brings a warmth to what could easily feel like a dry subject. The visuals are striking—she plays with light and shadow beautifully. It’s a nice companion piece, a thoughtful exploration of art and history through these silent watchers of the city. Definitely one for those who appreciate the subtleties of Varda’s vision.
