- Quotes
Viva: Even if he is corrupt, at least he does it with style.
Jim: Viva, you're too much.
Viva: Of course, all politics is the same thing. They're just better actors. Much better actors. If you were as good an actor as Bobby Kennedy you'd be where Bobby Kennedy is up on the podium.
Jim: Who wants to be up there? You could get killed.
Viva: Influencing the masses.

Featured review
Agnes Varda makes a frank statement about Hollywood.
If we were to debate about French filmmakers who have made successful films in Hollywood,it would appear that Agnès Varda is certainly not the first person from France who made a film in Hollywood.There were many people before her including great French master Jean Renoir who made films which had favorable outcome in Hollywood.What is important to note is that her films based in Hollywood gained more popularity as she and her husband Jacques Demy were close to American cultural icon Andy Warhol.This is also the case with her film "Lions Love" in which she makes attempts to understand working style of Hollywood people.The highlight of the film is her quest to fathom how American films get their finances in a tough jungle called Hollywood.Lions Love is also a tale of reflections of a French lady on American events of the time as there is a significant mention of the assassination of American president John.F.Kennedy.Those who are looking for traces of feminism found in other films by Agnès Varda would be highly disappointed as Lions Love is very much a light work in terms of its filming style and theme.
