Paper & Glue (2021)

Amy, Jack, and I loved this documentary about the French artist JR who takes portrait photographs, blows them up to giant size on paper, and pastes them in unlikely places all over the world. A worthy sequel to his previous documentary Faces Places, this one has segments in a California prison, on the US-Mexico border, in Brazil, in France, and much more.

JR directs once again, with music by Adam Peters; cinematography by Roberto De Angelis, Tasha Van Zandt, and Sebastian Zeck; and editing by Keiko Deguchi.

JR was last blogged for Faces Places and Peters for Icarus. The rest are new to me.

Rotten Tomatoes' critics aren't torn about their 89% average, but, apparently, not enough people have seen it for an audience rating. 

We watched it on December 19 on the NBC website from this link, doggedly waiting through ELEVEN commercial breaks. It is, however, available with a Fubo subscription added to Amazon Prime (first 7 days free).
