A testament to [Varda's] curious, generous, democratic spirit

A. O. Scott, The New York Times

Legendary filmmaker Agnès Varda hits the road with artist JR in this heartwarming documentary

Agnès Varda's unique cinematic vision has earned her a loyal following of fervent cinephiles from around the world, while photographer and muralist JR has over a million faithful followers on his Instagram account, which features his iconic large-scale portraits. Their popularity isn't the only thing they have in common. When long-time Varda devotee JR met Agnès at her home on Rue Daguerre, they both immediately knew that they wanted to work together.

Faces Places documents their heart-warming journey through rural France and the unlikely, tender friendship they form along the way.  In the process, it provides a richly detailed portrait of the places and people they encounter and movingly speaks to the profound and ephemeral nature of art.  Before you press play on this film, take a look at this joyous introduction recorded by Agnès Varda and JR on the occasion of ACMI’s theatrical season of Faces Places back in 2017.
