faces places

An 89-year old leading figure of the French New Wave, and an acclaimed 33 year-old French photographer and muralist co-direct this French art documentary/road movie. They travel in a photo van which has a photo booth and an oversized printer. Their mission is to make portraits of ordinary people. These portraits are super enlarged so they can be pasted on very large walls and other surfaces.

It’s a touching story of the unlikely pair and their wonderful art which reminds me of the work of Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Also reminds me of the travels of Charles Kuralt. Made me want to learn how to make oversized photos. I found it on Netflix.
