Ooh what pretty colors. I love Yanco and the whole aquatic suburbia of course. The metafictional stuff is a bit on the cutesy side for me, but it's short enough not to be too grating.
Yehhhhh it's not bad, I've just never been a fan of these "photographing poor people on the street" type shorts. Not for moral reasons, I remember a classmate in highschool made a film where he shot random people on the 3rd Street Promenade and his friend did a voice-over improvising internal monologues for each of them, and that shit was funny as hell, but on the whole they're just not that interesting. I liked the stuff with the two lovers though.
Varda's no Marker, but she laid off the Varda-centric stuff for once here and I think made a pretty darn cool political document. I also tend to forget that the Panthers were pretty conservative at heart, but it's cool how adamant Huey was about gender equality, even if it didn't reflect the reality of the movement. Also Varda was there last night and she actually seems like a pretty uninteresting, or maybe just predictable, person, but that's not gonna stop me from bragging about having met her before she kicked it.
