Documentary.  “I’m open,” French photographer and street artist JR earnestly tells a roomful of maximum-security prison inmates at Tehachapi Supermax Prison in California. Known for the larger-than-life-size photo murals that he’s done around the world, he’s planning to do a giant mural of all the inmates in the prison yard, but he wants their input and blessing before moving forward. As always, JR wears his signature sunglasses to remain anonymous — perhaps the biggest anonymous voice in the street art world besides Banksy. Like most great artists, JR is something of an enigma — the candidly open man who is iconic but unknown, hidden behind a pair of dark glasses.  PAPER & GLUE  — JR’s second documentary after the delightful FACES, PLACES (co-directed by the legendary Agnès Varda) suggests that the late filmmaker had a sizable impact on her unlikely friend. The remarkable similarities between the fundamental philosophies of these two great artists become all the clearer as JR reflects on his career and some of his most remarkable projects to date.

PAPER & GLUE contains scenes with mature themes, and may not be suitable for children under the age of 14.
