Connection and Creativity: Agnes Varda and JR's 'Faces Places'

In the late, legendary filmmaker Agnès Varda's final cinematic work, she accompanies street artist (and co-director) JR on a tour through regional France as he covers buildings and objects in blown-up photographs of ordinary people. Revelling in the whimsical interplay between the two eccentric artists, the documentary contains profound observations about place and the passage of time, as Susan Bye explores.
