Faces Places

About This Movie

So, Faces Places, right? This one's a real gem. It pairs the whimsical yet poignant style of Agnès Varda with the innovative eye of JR. The pacing feels leisurely, almost like a road trip where you soak in every moment. They travel through rural France, capturing everyday life in a way that’s super intimate and honest. There’s this warmth in their interactions, and the way they engage with locals adds a lovely layer of authenticity. The murals and installations they create together? They transform ordinary spaces into something special, making you look twice at what’s around you. It's playful but also reflective, touching on themes of aging, memory, and the beauty in the mundane. Definitely has a unique vibe that stands apart from typical docs.
