 Roman Emperors DIR Agnes of France
The child empress Agnes of France was the spouse of two emperors of Byzantium, the boy emperor Alexius II Comnenus, and subsequently Andronicus I Comnenus, the latter's first cousin once removed.
Agnes was born to King Louis VII of France's third wife, Adèle (or Alix) of Blois-Champagne, the daughter of Count Theobald II of Blois, in 1172.
Agnes was received with great festivities, including a fleet of boats colourfully festooned, and her arrival was heralded in a lengthy production of welcoming verses by an anonymous author, in which the description of her attractions reaches an unusual degree of hyperbole with her 'lively form' being compared to air and crystal.

It's not entirely unexpected that, after 15 feature films, Agnès Varda has arrived at a video documentary about all the stuff on the ground, the figs, tomatoes, grapes, apples or potatoes that don't fit the specs by a whisker, or worse that are two headed Siamese mutants that to Varda's eye are heart-shaped.
At any rate, a small digital videocam set Varda free to film not simply the real France, but the France she knows well enough to know that she is nearer the end of her time than the beginning.
In Gleaners, Agnès Varda, the ultimate actor in her own film, has crossed the threshold of her 70s, and sees in others' hunt for junk the raveling strands of her life: widow to Jacquot de Nantes, mother of a wild boy, filmmaker, arguer, seeker, persistent old lady on the verge of au revoir.

The film explores the frontiers between the imaginary and the real, from a picture took by the filmmaker in 1954: by the sea, a dead goat, a boy called Ulysse and a naked man.
The film relates neo-classical statues of Paris (the caryatids, on the walls of buildings and holding up windows and roofs) to women holding up huge weights, what creates symbolic implications to the feminine social role.
The filmmaker shows the 50 steps that lead to the cinema museum and descend to the theatre where the great movies of world cinema are projected.
