This Sunday, 20 March, marks World Frog Day, a holiday you probably didn’t know existed. There’s a good reason for its appearance in the biodiversity calendar: 26 species of Australian frog are at great risk of extinction, and an international day in the limelight for these creatures will significantly increase awareness of this.
The rest of the film, a seminal piece of work by French director Agnès Varda, is great – and absolutely not about frogs at all. So if you’re squeamish, feel free to skip this bit.
