7/10
Bleak and then some, akin to the most melancholic Chekhov tale you can think of

Slow moving and as desolate as the film's surroundings, but all fits in so perfectly well with the main character and the cloying sense of gloom that surrounds him.

Faces Places (2017)
8/10
Not its intention, but stands as a reminder of that which we have lost in Agnès Varda's passing
30 April 2020
I LOVED the ceaseless pulse of creativity beating through this film. I LOVED the profound yet very slightly testy at times connection that both had with one another. I LOVED the people they touched and places they coloured. I LOVED almost the most the tribute paid to Jean-Luc Godard in the recreation of the famous 'race though the Louvre' scene from Bande à part. But I LOVED most of all one last opportunity to bear witness to Agnès Varda's indomitable spirit, which in turn left me feeling her great loss all over again. May she continue to rest in peace, and may JR remain popping up in his portable photo booth eternally, putting artistic joy in people's lives.
