She has spent most of her working life in France.
 Film historians have cited Varda's work as central to the development of the [[French New Wave]]; her employment of [[location shooting]] and non-professional actors were unconventional in the context of 1950s French cinema.<ref name="Criterion">{{Cite news|url=https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/497-la-pointe-courte-how-agnes-varda-invented-the-new-wave|title=La Pointe Courte: How Agnès Varda "Invented" the New Wave|last=Vincendeau|first=Ginette|authorlink=Ginette Vincendeau|work=[[The Criterion Collection]]|date=2008-01-28|access-date=2018-04-17}}</ref>

 === ''Vagabond'' (1984) ===
-In 1984, Varda made ''[[Vagabond (film)|Sans toit ni loi]]'' (known in most English-speaking countries as ''Vagabond''), which is a drama about the death of a young female drifter named Mona. The death is investigated by an unseen and unheard interviewer who focuses on the people who have last seen her. The story of ''Vagabond'' is told through nonlinear techniques, with the film being divided into forty-seven episodes, and each episode about Mona being told from a different person's perspective. ''[[Vagabond (film)|Vagabond]]'' is considered to be one of Agnès Varda's greater feminist works in how the film deals with the de-fetishization of the female body from the male perspective.<ref name="Hayward">Hayward, Susan.
