Faces PlacesRoad trip documentary with filmmaker Agnès Varda and photographer JR. JR’s droll wit, however, makes him more like another of Varda’s contemporaries: Jacques Tati and his doofus alter ego Monsieur Hulot. Varda and JR hadn’t met until shortly before filming began, when they spontaneously decided to pool their talents for creating whimsical imagery. They get on like an old squabbling couple as they roam through France, passing fields of lilac and sunflowers. On a brief stop in Paris, Varda and JR also have merry fun recreating a classic Godard image: the run through the Louvre of Band of Outsiders.
