Faces Places **** ½ / *****
Directed by: Agnès Varda & JR.
 
The great Agnes Varda is now 89 years old – and she is going as strong as ever in her new films, Faces Places, which she co-directed with JR – an artist more than 50 years her junior. Varda has been making films since 1955 – and is often associated with the French New Wave, and indeed, she was friendly with those in that movement – most notably (for this film anyway) – Jean-Luc Godard. In the film, the unlikely duo travel The across France in JR’s supped up van – which allows him to take pictures like a photo booth, and print large photographs out. He then takes those large photographs – or many of them, making up even larger pictures, and pastes them on walls, barns, water towers, whatever for larger than life projects. He knows his images will eventually fade away – they are meant to be temporary. Varda accompanies him on his journey because she admires his work, and he admires hers – and because her eyes are fading, and she wants to capture these moments before they slip away forever.
 
The result is a playful documentary, where we watch as their friendship deepens and widens – the bicker like old friend, in part because – like her old friend Godard – JR insists on keeping his dark sunglasses ad fedora on at all times – a way to hide from the world. Varda, with her trademark two toned hair, is done with that sort of nonsense, and is frustrated with him at times. But the work they do – wasting old photos of miners on their now abandoned homes – and the one woman who is left there – a farmer on his barn, a beautiful waitress on the side of a restaurant, who suddenly becomes the most famous woman in her small town, the wives of dock workers on the stacks of crates, etc. is
unexpectedly moving, and quietly profound.
 
The people they meet along the way are also interesting. If Varda and JR ever met anyone who thought their idea was stupid and said no, we never meet them in the doc (they certainly would if they tried this America). Everyone in the film seems to think it’s a good idea – and they love the results. In part, this could because of the people Varda and JR choose – they are mainly older, or at least well into middle age, and remember a time before, when things were different. This isn’t simple nostalgia however – but just a remembrance of a time gone by.
 
I wonder what I can say to make you realize just how fun this film is. Basically, this is a film about Varda and JR playing together – they embrace each new challenge as an opportunity to have fun. Godard hangs over much of the film – as Varda shows, on more than one occasion, footage she shoot of him and Anna Karina in the early 1950s – him also in his trademark glasses, although he removes them for Varda’s camera – and seems to be clowning for her. In one sequence, Varda has JR push her through the Louvre in a wheelchair, in a sequence having fun with the infamous one in Godard’s Band of Outsiders. Late in the film, Varda surprises JR with what she promises will be a trip to meet the infamous man himself – although things don’t quite turn out the way she planned. The film is, at least in part, a rebuke of Godard – and the idea that you have to be a self-involved asshole to be a great artist. Varda is proof that that is not true – and it’s a message she wants to send.
 
Right before I saw this film at TIFF, it was announced that Varda was going to be one of the lifetime achievement winners at this year’s Oscars (and thank god that they give those out at a separate ceremony, because who would ever want to see a legend like Varda celebrated at the Oscars, when we need to squeeze in all those very memorable song performances and 18 self-congratulatory tributes to Hollywood for being so great). There are few film artists more deserving of such recognition. But Faces Places proves she perhaps she isn’t done yet (if it is her final film, it’s a fitting one – but we can always hope for more). This is a wonderful, life affirming doc – and a film that will, simply put, just make you happy.
