ABOUT THE FILM: “I don’t know whether I’m in a movie or directing one.” A ménage à trois between Viva, Jerome Ragni, and James Rado on a Hollywood hilltop in a rented house with a giant bed, a heated swimming pool and plants all around – what’s not to love? Agnes Varda’s Los Angeles masterpiece is a movie within a movie. Shirley Clarke, the real-life director, plays herself in the film yet throughout “Lions Love (…and Lies)” the actors talk to Varda behind the camera who at one point even steps in to act out a scene. This one’s a real time capsule of late ‘60s bohemian Hollywood hippie culture. Program notes by Directorfits FORMAT: DCP DISTRIBUTOR: Janus Films COUNTRY: France
