Scott R @ScottR Oct 5, 2025 NYT 1000 list. However, I didn't feel like it especially deserved to be on the list. It was a nice idea / collaboration that had some artistic moments, but do I need to see it again? No. SLC DVD. See more Tua S @Tua2001 Aug 4, 2025 A life changing movie.

See more Leaburn O @RT35452347 Oct 17, 2021 First half of the film focuses on the subjects and it's fun to see the creations and their reactions which are articulated in a brilliantly thoughtful manner that only the French can achieve across all classes of people. As it progresses we're subjected to the drag of confused and rambling French philosophising. The story also turns to the thoughts of the two producers and it's not really all that interesting. There are ridiculous pawns to nostalgia and a forced storyline that feels inauthentic throughout. What started as a successful artistic project ends up dying of its own conceit. See more Sep 5, 2021 Recently decesed Agnes Varga and street artist JR teams up to make a film. It's her last, while he is in an early stage of his career. They travel around France, mostly country sides and small villages as they meet, speak with and photograph people they bump into. They often sticks big photos of them on walls and creates different small arrangements. This brings joy to the place, the directors and also the viewers of this film. They bond a wonderful, yet strange friendship. It's very charming and a wonderfully put together film. Agnes is way cool and down to earth, JR is inspiring and sems like a very nice guy too. The same thing can be said about the people they meet. France is a very welcoming country, just as this is a very welcoming film to enjoy. The plot is simple, still so artistic and beautiful. A docu like this can easily fail, but it works out very well. A warm, beautiful film about the most important things in life. Art, people and friendships. 8.5 out og 10 glasses. See more May 15, 2021 So ridiculously wonderful, it seems almost wrong to not call it Visages Villages. Varda is always the same; eager to meet, see, create, but forever the epitome of sweetness and light with the constant eye of the artiste. This JR guy is a bit of a hipster-y douf, but he's also a pretty remarkable creative force himself, and clearly a very decent fella. It's gorgeous, end to end; even shots of the dock and decrepit houses looked good. Plus, the whole horns or no horns, milking machines or hand-held style debates are on. Seeing how a bit of art raises spirits and brings tears to these tiny villages is yet more proof of its power along with a je ne sais quoi, the loving spirit behind these installations. 4 stars See more Read all reviews
