(1987) and "Jacquot de Nantes" (1991). Smith considers Varda's films in the light of her constant attention to film form, and process an integrated analysis of several major themes in her work, through a detailed study of her best-known or most significant films, which are then set in context against her lesser-known but very extensive oeuvre.
