In 1970, Agnès Varda shot a feature-length movie for television in response to the 1967 coup that installed a right-wing military dictatorship in Greece. Among other things, she filmed a number of direct-to-camera addresses from Greek refugees—a writer, an economist, a student, a newspaper editor—who were living in exile in France. Censored at the time and surviving only in a work print sent to Belgium (with all other materials destroyed and the film never finished), Nausicaa is the story of Varda’s search for meaning in her own history and the contemporary political crisis in Greece.
