Lions Love is a 1969 film directed by Agnès Varda and depicts the lives of three Hollywood actors, Viva, James Rado, and Gerome Ragni. The three live together in a lavish mansion in Beverly Hills, where they engage in a bohemian lifestyle filled with love, drugs, and free-spiritedness.
The film also features a fictionalized version of Varda herself, who acts as the director sent from New York to make a movie about Hollywood actors. Her character immerses herself in the lives of Viva, James, and Gerome, leading to intimate and revealing conversations about their careers, loves, and aspirations.
Shot in a cinéma vérité style, Lions Love offers a unique behind-the-scenes look at the hippie counterculture of 1960s Hollywood. It also includes cameo appearances by several famous actors and musicians, including Shirley Clarke, Eddie Constantine, and Andy Warhol.
