In 2011 French photographer JR (Jean René) won the TED prize award with the wish of changing the world. This project was the inspiration of the phrase "inside out" this was the beginning of a massive photographic project with a photo booth truck traveling around the world, capturing images of people from different nationalities focusing on several subjects, from gun violence, equality, racism, segregation, physical violence to women etc.

Inside Out became a well-known phenomenon. Agnés Varda Belgium director started a friendship with JR that lead to the creation of a documentary film inspired in the Inside Out project.

Visages Villages-Faces Places tells the story of Agnés and Jr traveling into small towns in France, meeting interesting people and creating portraits of them as part of the legacy of their faces and the places that make them.

Every character in this film is a treat, from the first encounter, the prep work for the massive picture, to the final result and the character reaction, the audience is presented with an emotional tale of simple people, who becomes work of art in their own front door. Jr and Agnés friendship are perfect, two characters with such age difference are so together, joking and teasing each other.

Visages Villages-Faces Places is a refreshing documentary when you are only exposed to tragic stories of war or political corruption. Don't get me wrong there are great documentaries, but you need to laugh a little about life.
