Le Mur tombé du ciel #5: Jacques Demy, Agnès Varda and Anouk Aimée

Jacques Demy – a major film director and a major person born in Nantes – is sadly on the point of being almost forgotten in the city he loved so much: Varda's loving tribute to him in Jacqou de Nantes is an important film, as are the films which Demy set in Nantes – Une chambre en ville and Lola. But he's not forgotten in this mural, which shows him behind the movie camera, Varda behind him and Anouk Aimé (as Lola) in front. Some shots were taken in places which no longer exist, although others are set in the art nouveau splendour of La Cigale restaurant.
