A few months shy of her 90th birthday, French film director Agnes Varda is in the running for a second Oscar in a year, thanks to an unlikely partnership with street artist JR in a documentary spotlighting everyday life in small-town France. Varda won an honorary Oscar last November for her career, which includes “Cleo from 5 to 7” and “The Gleaners and I”. With “Faces Places”, the director has now been jointly nominated with 35-year-old JR for best feature documentary.
