What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing describes the collection as five films and names five titles. Its media-format field lists both Full Screen and Widescreen, so the presentation format for individual films is unclear. Confirm format details if they matter to your setup.

The aggregate ratings lean positive, with most ratings in the top two star categories, but a smaller portion is low. This is a limited indication of buyer sentiment and does not explain the reasons behind ratings. For a collection whose main draw is Varda’s five California films, the ratings alone cannot establish whether the selection or presentation will suit a particular viewer.
