Faces Places was a lovely story about the unexpected combo of Agnes Varda and JR. As they traverse the French countryside to do their monumental pastings, we get an intimimate look into their personal relationship, and the process by which they arrive at their projects. I thought it was wonderful to see two wholly different artists come together on such a large project to work to create something special and emblematic of the communities they visited. It's certainly refreshing to see such empathetic works being created, which focus on the celebration of oft neglected rural communities. Their way of deciding on a project by simply speaking with the residents of an area to see what's currently going on in the area was super interesting as well. It was clear that Agnes and JR both had considerable experience with this kind of thing, and the depth of memory that Agnes displayed throughout the movie was also impressive.

Faces Places Dir: Agnès Varda, JR * * Varda and JR cruise around villages and small towns in France to meet with local communities and create large posters of them to plaster on nearby surroundings. * * Coining it as an "unassuming masterpiece", this film does meet up to its compliments. Quirky and spontaneous the film throws viewers into an adventure heartwarming and exciting for the soul to feast. * * Regardless of time, memories flash back and forth reminiscing on past memories of notoriety, thus bringing perspectives to how current it is with the present time. Apart from that, it shows one's positivity and enthusiasm in doing what they love despite physical shortcomings and the little things that makes people who they are and continue living lives happily. * * An adventurous road movie, it's not a surprise this film would intrigue curious viewers pondering what the movie is about. In every circumstance, there's a tinge of beauty in communing with strangers and fulfilling little things in life and photos, no matter the size, tell the tales of precious memories smiling back at us. #cinema #film #cinematography #filmography #france #frenchnewwave #agnesvarda #jr #facesplaces #visagesvillages #roadmovie #photography #art https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv_Hw1cHZaF/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1xb9bydgjs2mc

I found the movie Faces Places to be a very quaint and heartwarming documentary of a project and friendship between Agnes Varda and JR. I was instantly drawn to the humorous and honest personality of Agnes; it is clear that she has experienced more in her life than most people have and that she carries her experiences as wisdom as the walks through later life. She has a rich personality and fun ideas for her photography. JR also proved to be an entertaining character, almost a caricature of himself with his sunglasses constantly on.
I found their works within their project to be mostly interesting for the stories and subjects they highlighted moreso than the images created and pasted. While the scale and process was certainly impressive, I did not think all the photographs chosen were necessarily the most artistically novel. One piece that I did particularly enjoy was the photograph of the man Agnes knew pasted on the piece of bunker that had been pushed from a cliff to the beach below. I was struck by JR’s insistence that they go forward with their work despite the incoming tide and knowledge that their image would be gone by the next day. I thought that added an interesting dimension to the project series, as the other works aimed to draw attention in large and somewhat lasting way. The beach bunker piece, however, was only meant to occupy a small place in time and had little audience other than the ocean. Thus, I enjoyed the breath within the work and the portrayals in the film.
