At 89, Agnès Varda—legendary filmmaker of The Gleaners and I and Cléo from 5 to 7—joins forces with JR, the celebrated 33‑year‑old French photographer and muralist, to create an enchanting documentary road movie unlike any other.Drawn together by their shared love of images and the stories they hold, Varda and JR set off across rural France in JR’s travelling photo booth. Along the way, they meet locals from all walks of life, listen to their stories, and transform their portraits into monumental artworks displayed on barns, houses, storefronts and even trains. These striking installations reveal the beauty and humanity of everyday people—while also illuminating the artists behind the camera.
Faces Places captures these moving encounters with warmth and curiosity, charting not only the creation of extraordinary public art but also the tender, unexpected friendship that grows between two kindred creative spirits.
