Daguerreotypes (1975) is a documentary or film essay by Agnès Varda (1928-2019) which features portraits of her neighbors, the small merchants on Daguerre Street, in Paris. These portraits can be understood as figurations of intimacy which reflect the limits between them and the approximations resulted from the care with which the filmmaker addresses her interviewees. This text constitutes an interpretative analysis which proposes to characterize these figurations of intimacy through Varda’s curious and warm look transposed to the film in silence, long duration and delicacy. It also delineates a political dimension articulated to the way Varda approaches her interviewees, as a mode of living, and brings their meaning to the spectators through her poetic cine-writing.
