French documentary in which director Agnès Varda and artist JR create portraits of ordinary people in rural France.
Like the most delicious, lightly-flavoured alcohol that somehow gets you knock-out drunk.
The 90-year-old director goes on the road with street artist JR to create remarkable, moving portraits of the people they meet.
Varda and JR prove quite the double act and the joy they bring each other and those they meet proves infectious.
Whether rediscovering La France périphérique or hurtling through the Louvre, Varda and JR make a surprisingly empathetic team and their collaboration is as provocative as it is poetic and poignant.
Agnès Varda and JR’s culture-fuelled journey around France is amiable but lacks spontaneity.
