My favourite movies #1 - Visages Villages

Hey Charlie,
today I'm going to talk about one of my favourite movies:


Visages Villages

It is a movie by Agnès Varda, who is a french photographer and film maker and JR, who is also a photographer but he exposes his artworks on buildings walls, on things in town. You might have seen one of his artworks on the ride in the train to go to Paris:



So, this movie is a documentary. Great! But it's documentary with a story: Agnès Varda and JR meet and decide to make a movie;they also decide to travel trough France by van in villages to picture people and to put their photographs on walls of their villages. Therefore if you're intelligent (no offense to you if you're not), it is the title of the movie. So written like this, the movie is pretty bad.

But even if AV is much more older than JR (she is 89 and he is 34), a great complicity is built between them. All along the movie it becomes a pair that is inseparable such as Laurel and Hardy. Moreover the photographs they make are beautiful:
Look like a crew, don't they?



I've already mentionned this movie in my fantastic speech (go to the cinema, it's great!) because I love it, and I don't know how to really explain it but it has a charm that you can miss but if you get it, you will love this film(I'm sure you have a movie you love, but you can't explain why).

I hope you enjoyed the article, even if the syntax of my sentences bothered you. As you probably saw the title, there will be a second article about my favourite movies. Here is a clue to guess the next movie(s): replicants (easy one!)
