Vintage photograph from the set of the 1966 film, showing director Agnes Varda in conversation with actors Catherine Deneuve and Michel Piccoli. With the stamp of Madeleine Films on the verso. A writer and his pregnant wife move to a remote island off the coast of France following a car accident that has rendered the wife mute. The writer begins to plan his next novel, using the local islanders as inspiration, but the locals are distrustful of the reclusive couple, and tensions heighten as the line between reality and fiction begins to melt together. Agnes Varda, an important and influential French director, writer, and artist, garnered praise as a filmmaker for her uncompromising documentary-style realism, focusing on women and marginalized members of society, as well as her experimental style. A colleague of Alain Resnais and other Rive Gauche filmmakers, her early work stylistically prefigures the French New Wave, and is today considered very much a part of it. Set and shot on location in Noirmoutier-en-l'Ile, France. 7 x 5 inches. Near Fine.

Vendeur : Royal Books, Inc., ABAA, Baltimore, MD, Etats-Unis
Archive of 46 vintage reference stills for the 1966 French film. Each photograph numbered using two different numbering systems in manuscript marker and pencil. A single photograph shows director Varda with Catherine Deneuve on the set. A writer and his pregnant wife, mute from a car accident, move to a remote village while he works on a novel. Fantasy and reality, fact and fiction, begin to blend together as he transforms the villagers into characters in his story. In his 1969 review, Roger Ebert called The Creatures "a complex and nearly hypnotic study of the way fact is made into fiction. It seems to operate on many levels, but in fact it operates on only one, illustrating how fantasy, reality and style are simultaneously kept suspended in the mind of a creative writer." Three photographs 10.75 x 8 inches. Very Good plus, with light scratches. Remaining photographs 4.75 x 3.5 inches. A few photographs lightly worn, else Near Fine overall.
