Agnès Varda’s documentary Mur Murs looks at the murals of Los Angeles as backdrop to and mirror of the city’s many cultures circa 1980. Made directly afterward, Documenteur, a meditative portrait of urban isolation, is different in tone and form, but complexly interwoven with Mur Murs in terms of its imagery and ideas.

Includes 10 minute intermission.
