Agnès Varda (left) and JR (right) in “Faces Places” directed by Agnès Varda and JR.
Artists Agnès Varda and JR were born 55 years apart, but have so much in common. They made a lovely film, “Faces Places.” Have horror movies jump scares, like when the axe-wielding maniac lurches out of the bushes, gone from a reliable technique to a hackneyed cliché? And when Hari Kondabolu was an adolescent, his male friends’ favorite movies were reliable dude-fare like “Rocky” and “Jurassic Park,” but Kondabolu fell in love with the romantic weepie, “Untamed Heart.” Then why you should subscribe to the slow art mindset, and spend a lot more time parked in front of one particular work of art.
