Wiki.

Faces Places (French: Visages Villages) is a 2017 French documentary film directed by renowned filmmaker Agnès Varda and artist JR. The film documents the duo as they journey through rural France, capturing the portraits of the people they meet along the way. Their collaborative process leads them to create large-scale portraits, which are then displayed on buildings and other public spaces, leaving a profound impact on both the subjects and the communities they visit.

The film was screened out of competition at the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, where it earned critical acclaim and won the prestigious L'Œil d'or award, which is given for the best documentary. It was officially released in France on 28 June 2017, and later in the United States on 6 October 2017.

At the 90th Academy Awards, Faces Places was nominated for Best Documentary Feature, further cementing its status as one of the year's standout films.

Notably, Faces Places was Agnès Varda's second-to-last cinematic work before her passing. It was followed by the two-episode 2019 documentary series, Varda by Agnès, which offers a retrospective look at her career.

The film is a heartfelt exploration of art, human connection, and the power of shared experiences, bridging generational and cultural gaps through the simple act of portraiture.

Varda and JR, who is 55 years Varda's junior, visit villages, small towns, and factories throughout France to meet communities of people and create large portraits of them to plaster on walls and structures. Over the course of their travels, the two artists get to know each other and become friends.

Varda refers more than once to "Les fiancés du pont MacDonald", a short film she made in 1961 about a young man, played by Jean-Luc Godard, who sees the world through dark glasses. She notes the resemblance between Godard, who frequently even wore sunglasses inside, and JR, whose public image also includes wearing sunglasses. Eventually, Varda and JR travel to Switzerland so she can introduce him to Godard. When they arrive at Godard's house, however, he rudely refuses to see them, bringing Varda to tears. To soothe her, JR shows her his face unobscured, but, since she is losing her sight, we only see him blurred.
