Artistic road trip with an unlikely pair
“Faces Places” is a documentary chronicling the cross-country art project undertaken by then 33-year-old photo muralist/poster artist JR and 88-year-old film director Agnes Varda, one of the legendary giants of the French New Wave. Kindred spirits, Varda and JR share a lifelong passion for images and how they are created, displayed and shared. In this film, they travel to French villages, factories, docks and farms, meeting locals, learning their stories and producing epic-sized portraits of them. The photos are then prominently displayed on houses, barns, storefronts and trains, revealing the humanity in their subjects as well as in Varda and JR themselves.<br /><br />The bond between the two artists is the heart of “Faces Places.” They obviously enjoy each other’s company as they go on their artistic quest, meeting fascinating people along the way. Scripted films have often used the road trip format, but this might be one of the first times it forms the basis of a documentary.<br /><br />The film is far more revealing of Varda than of JR, who remains sort of enigmatic. Varda speaks of her friendship of fellow New Wave filmmaker Jean-Luc Godard, whom they attempt to visit, and discusses her degenerative eye disease and her many friends who have passed away. JR, on the other hand, speaks little of his private life though Varda attempts to get him to let down his self-imposed barrier from the world. He refuses to remove his dark glasses and even keeps his real name a mystery.<br /><br />There’s an element of the artist Christo in the huge portraits the pair put up on ordinary structures, though their work doesn’t have the expansive scope of Christo. Their art occurs spontaneously as the two explore and discover as they travel through the picturesque French countryside. This is a joyful movie about an eccentric, yet fascinating, artistic journey.<br /><br />Bonus materials on the PG-rated widescreen Blu-ray release include a behind-the-scenes short featuring Agnes Varda and JR; letters; and a theatrical trailer. The film is in French, with English subtitles.
