Faces and Places - A magnificent film

I cannot do better than give you this link and then add my own response to the film.

My responses.

  • As an artist it was a joy to experience.  Each shot was an art work, encompassing life, death, reality, social realism.
  • The generation gap and how it was breached was breathtaking.
  • The creativity was celebrated captured by a 90 year old icon whose creativity just got stronger with age.
  • Passing on of gifts, of visionary concepts./exchange from the modernist.
  •  The goats at the centre - respect for all life.
  • Respect for all people, making ordinary people the stars of the film.
  • growing old, facing death with honesty.
It is a film that will live in my consciousness for a very long time.

You can now download the film either on Youtube or google Play
