Faces Places

A film about a mismatched pair Who travel throughout France To photograph the folks they meet Is one that just enchants. They print the pictures jumbo-sized And paste them onto spaces Which normally possess a blankness That their art replaces. So water towers, freight trains, walls, Containers meant for shipping Get locals’ faces plastered on, A concept I found gripping. The English title, “Faces Places” Hasn’t really captured The magic of this movie, with which I was quite enraptured.
