94 mins – France 2017 – Subtitles – Documentary – Dir: Agnès Varda, JR Featuring: Agnès Varda, JR and Jeannine Carpentier Agnès Varda’s illustrious career spanned decades, from her pioneering work in French New Wave cinema to the reflective documentaries that defined her late-life work. Released in 2017, Faces Places documents the exploits of the 88-year-old director with 33-year-old street artist J.R., as they take to the French countryside to make large-scale photographic murals with locals they encounter. Playful, entertaining, whimsical and infused with tenderness, the film earned Varda her first and only Academy Award nomination. FACES PLACES is a magnified reflection of the humour, insights and generosity of people from all walks of life, and especially highlights what we may value in getting older.
FACES PLACES is screening as part of the Reframing Ageing: The Cinema of Older Women season. This season is guest-curated by Dr. Neasa Fitzpatrick (Specialist Registrar in Geriatric Medicine at Mercy University Hospital, Cork), who will introduce this screening.“Funny, life-affirming, and altogether wonderful.” IndieWire
