Mur Murs
Director: Agnès Varda
1981 / 82min / DCP
Returning to Los Angeles, where she’d lived and worked in the late ’60s, in 1979, Varda became fascinated by the festively colorful murals that were found, and fast disappearing, throughout the city. The product of that fascination was Mur Murs, an exuberant documentary mash note to Southern California that discusses these vibrant works of public art, the artists who make them, and the diverse communities—from Chicano East L.A. to Venice Beach—that they brighten with their presence.
