Faces Places is an unexpected—and perhaps final—gift from the visionary eighty-nine-year-old director Agnès Varda. As a collaboration with her youthful co-director, JR, an artist famous for his monumental installations of black-and-white photo portraits, the film is a double portrait. It also has a double subject: the unexpected delights and discoveries of documenting the lives of the people they encounter in corners of France, and of the bittersweet, and inevitably transitory, friendship making this film creates between the two artists, travelers in different centuries, looking at the world together and experiencing each other.
