Daguerréotypes

Agnès Varda, a longtime resident of Paris's Rue Daguerre, turns her camera toward the shopkeepers who are her neighbors. The butcher weighs chops with practiced hands, the barber lathers a client's face, the grocer arranges apples in a pyramid. Behind each counter, a universe unfolds: daydreams of vacations, memories of war, the quiet humor of daily survival. The film weaves these threads into a collective portrait of a street where every small business is a cosmos of its own rhythms, scents, and gentle wisdom.
