Paper & Glue

Watch Trailer
2021 · 94 min Documentary
7.3 / 10 · TMDB

Artist JR traverses the globe, transforming public spaces into vast canvases for portraits of everyday individuals. His ephemeral installations emerge in Rio's favelas, California prisons, and the rubble of Middle Eastern communities. Each colossal face pasted onto a wall or rooftop is a story pulled from anonymity and scaled to architectural proportions. The act of creation becomes a collective ritual of trust, where glue and paper serve as tools for social dialogue. The camera captures the moment art leaves institutional walls to engage directly with the street and its inhabitants.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take

Director Matthieu Kassovitz goes beyond mere documentation, capturing the emotional alchemy of each intervention. The film finds its pulse in the hesitant faces of participants, their initial resistance giving way to awe as their own image transforms a familiar wall.

What lingers after the final reel is a profound sense of art's democratic potential. This is a testament to how visibility, crafted from the humblest materials, can forge communities and challenge perceptions. — MovieFinder Editorial
