the charming romantic muses  coming to whisper

I'm speaking about a strong word, "inspiration,"

which goes with "creation" and "sharing."

Those are the words who have been in the middle of my working life.

It's full of DVDs of all my films and other things

I could be finished. I could be like, "I'm going to retire."

It's motivation; inspiration; desire of creating.

But what I know is that desire is the essence of life.

So how does it come? You know... It can be vague things invading the brain

It could be some thoughts. And sometimes it's just -- an emergency.

This is in 1967. I'm in San Francisco. There is a film festival

and Tom Luddy said to me, "There is a man named Varda. He is a painter in Sausalito --

and he was a man...Tom introduced me to that man

beautiful hippie-type long hair, big pants, loving, loving look

and he said he was a real cousin of my father, so we were family.

And there was love at the first sight -  to simplify it

We were so happy to meet  and I was impressed.

"Well, I have to capture that! I should make a film right away."

This is Wednesday. And I know I have to leave on Monday.

I call a distributor called Greensfelder,  I say, "Look, I need a 35-millimeter camera, film stock."

And brought me to David Myers -- known DP -- and we started to shoot on Friday.

We shot, you know, Yanco [Varda] -- his paintings, the house what was around,

and on Saturday he invited friends --everybody spoke about what he was doing

and on Sunday he invited young people and some animals to go in a little boat

And then I did some white sound -- in English and in French

So the thing is that, when I filmed, I thought already -- the kind of editing I wanted to do

Because I knew I wanted to tell the meeting

I should express the excitement,  the surprise, the joy that happened

so I did what I did and I succeeded to do a baroque editing

It is true that I loved that meeting and Yanko became an inspiration for me

like Picasso. I never met Picasso but I was so impressed by the way he could

reinvent his own art every five years.  Changing, inventing.

And other artists also like Calder -- I loved Calder.

I think art feeds us. That's the way I feel.

it's more simple things that inspired me  -- like everyday life.

It was the end of a farmer's market.  And the vendor -- the farmer

with their, you know,  their plastic, green brooms, were waiting.

And I could see people coming. Young and old people

bending their bodies to get something on the floor.

Some salad some boxes of eggs, some eggs were broken,

so the vendor left the box -- fruits not very in good shape -- different things.

And I was very impressed. A sentence came in my mind right away, it said

And it became... I started to think, "I should do something about that."

in the fields, in the cities. In the cities, mostly the garbage cans.

and in the field: corn, you know, apples and potatoes. So that's how I started the

documentary called "Les glaneurs et la glaneuse"

I was impressed by the beauty of these odd potatoes

The heart-shaped potatoes became a very important feeling that, you know,

that's the way you look at things that make them beautiful

I also thought of another more typical way of discussing beauty

This is Corinne Marchand who acted as Cléo in my film "Cléo from 5 to 7."

And the time was very strange because in the late 50s and the late 60s

There were difficult things. There was the  Algerian War and there was a very general feeling

of being afraid of cancer -- like a fear for everybody. And I thought cancer should be a subject.

And I thought, I should tell the story of a woman expecting a medical result.

She's afraid to have cancer. She's afraid to die.
