Music and movies...

This weekend offers some very interesting television viewing...from Lawrence Welk to Gnarls Barkley on Saturday...the annual Capitol Fourth concert on Sunday...and the first talking picture is investigated on History Detectives on Monday.

Of particular interest has got to be Saturday's POV...In this memoir, award-winning French filmmaker Agnes Varda (Vagabond, Cleo From 5 to 7) employs all the magic of cinema to juxtapose the real and the imagined, the past and the present, pain and joy. For this 81-year-old artist, memories live through her films. In "The Beaches of Agnes," she uses film clips, old photos and reenactments to revisit her Belgian youth, association with the French New Wave, marriage to director Jacques Demy (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) and the making of her movies...11pm
