So this is a kind of documentary/road trip movie. Legendary director Agnès Varda, 88 at the time this was made (she died at the age of 90 earlier this year), strikes up a friendship with JR, a street artist who pastes photos up on public buildings. And they decide they should do something together, so they go driving off to French villages, take giant oversized photos of the people there, and then paste them up on local buildings or landmarks.

And so the movie is about their art project, about the people they meet in these villages and how they react to it; but mostly it’s about the friendship between the two, and Varda’s musings on being old and about the past.

I’m not going to say it’s super-amazing or anything — it never really tries to be more than a light diversion — but it’s a charming way to spend an hour and a half.
