  • "A moving homage to filmmaker Jacques Demy (Lola, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) by his wife made with his collaboration but completed after his death in 1990. Scenes enacted from his childhood filmed at the actual locations in Nantes are intercut with Demy's home movies, his recollections and clips from his films. Above all it is a chronicle of Jacquot's growing fascination with the cinema culminating in his departure for film school in Paris. A film to be compared with Truffaut's Les Quarte Cents Coups and the Bill Douglas and Terence Davies films."
  • "Jacquot is director Agnès Varda's touching tribute to her late husband, visionary director Jacques Demy. From an early age, little Jacques, known as Jacquot, is in love with the movies. Starting with puppet shows in his family's garage, he begins his quest to become a filmmaker. At the age of seven, against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied France, Jacquot trades his toys for his first movie camera. Intercut with these loving memories of childhood are scenes of Demy's later films, showing the extraordinary way in which ordinary life influenced his works."
  • "Set at the end of the 1930s, Jacquot is a boy who is so fascinated with movies that he trades his toys for his first movie camera at the age of seven. Based on the life of filmmaker Jacques Demy, portions of his motion pictures are used to narrate his early interest in the cinema."

  • "A child is brought up in a mechanic's shop where everyone likes to sing. He develops a great love for puppets and musicals. Although he tries to make movies, his father forces him to study mechanics. This movie is the story of the childhood of the director Jacques Demy, his brother, friends, games, young loves, and first attempts at making movies."
