Jacquot de Nantes is a 1991 French coming of age and drama film directed by Agnès Varda. It was screened out of competition at the 1991 Cannes Film Festival.[1]
The film is a portrait of the making of an artist; recreating the early life of Varda's husband, Jacques Demy, in Occupied France and his interest in the various crafts associated with filmmaking, such as casting, set design, animation and lighting. The fictional sections set in wartime Nantes are matched with brief documentary interludes involving Demy.
