Episode 5. Uncle Yanco (1968); Lions, Love (...and Lies) (1969)
Joined by the wonderful filmmaker and new friend Courtney Bush to discuss two defining works from Varda's California chapter: Uncle Yanco (1968) and Lions, Love (...and Lies) (1969). So much to unpack in both films, but we kept the conversation relatively short and sweet because we know your time would be better spent watching these movies!
