French cinema legend Agnès Varda and photographer and graffiti artist JR co-direct this documentary in which they travel around rural France in JR's specially-enabled photo truck, discussing their views on the world around them.
As they travel through several towns and villages, the pair acquaint themselves with the locals before JR takes photos of individuals and their surroundings, then transforming them into giant murals to be pasted on houses and communal walls. The locals are then documented as they encounter their own giant portraits.
Faces Places is a funny and heart-warming insight into the power of community, and a life-affirming snapshot of a fascinating cross-generational cultural collaboration and friendship.
