KUNG-FU MASTER! aka LE PETIT AMOUR
Special Features: 35th Anniversary
A lovely, bittersweet companion to JANE B. FOR AGNÈS V. from director Agnès Varda and star/muse Jane Birkin, KUNG-FU MASTER! has nothing to do with martial arts — the film's title comes from an arcade video game played obsessively in the film by a teenaged boy, Julien (Varda's son, Mathieu Demy). Birkin delivers one of her finest performances as a lonely 40-year-old woman who finds herself shattering taboos by falling in love with the 14-year-old Julien — but is it romance, or a desperate attempt to turn back time in the face of middle age? Director Miranda July calls it, "A radical masterpiece…One of my all-time favorites." (Note courtesy of Cinelicious.) DIR/SCR Agnès Varda; SCR Jane Birkin. France, 1988, color, 80 min.
