Agnès Varda is great at word play, which subtitles try to capture (admirably), but don't always manage. That's the case with Mur Murs, which is ostensibly Wall Walls, but also Ripe Walls, as well as Murmurs. It's a documentary about the many murals around Los Angeles, their artists (I find the sotto voce attributions somehow poignant), meanings and impacts. It's also a kind of tone poem - Varda's voice-overs I always find fascinating and playful - an ode to a secret city, in plain view and yet...
