by Agnés Varda, JR
France, 2017, 89’
Agnès Varda moved her first steps as still photographer, but then she made cinema mixed with life, cinema in its purest form; JR is an artist who uses photography to stage the cinema of life. She is small, he is gangly. There is a 55-year age difference between them, but when they meet in 2015 an artistic and intimate partnership unites them regardless of any category or distinction. Therefore, Varda and JR embark on a moving and energetic journey across the intertwines of a France transformed by time.
