Mr. Sohal met Agnès Varda at a screening of the film Faces, Places at the Curzon Cinema, Mayfair, London.

It is rare for anyone to have an original poster signed, as the majority of signatures are on pieces of paper, photographs, and video/DVD sleeves.

This film was written and directed by Agnès Varda, and stars Corinne Marchand, Antoine Bourseiller and Dominique Davray, and includes cameos by Jean-Luc Godard, Anna Karina, Eddie Constantine and Jean-Claude Brialy. The film is about Florence 'Cléo' Victoire, a singer, during a two-hour span (between 5 pm and 7 pm) on a day in June when she is waiting for test results to find out if she has cancer. This is an existential film, with a powerful female view about how women were perceived in French society in the 1960s.
