Visages, Villages (Faces, Places). 2017. France. Directed by Agnès Varda and JR. DCP. 89 min.
Agnès Varda and JR, artists separated by generations but joined by a profound sense of humanity, have created an essential documentary for our time. Celebrating the unseen rural communities in France, and the remarkable individuals whose stories have been overlooked and erased, these two artists lovingly bridge a human divide.
