The Gleaners and I
2000 · TMDB 7.7 · Les Glaneurs et la Glaneuse
Directed by Agnès Varda
Varda focuses her eye on gleaners: those who scour already-reaped fields for the odd potato or turnip. Her investigation leads from forgotten corners of the French countryside to off-hours at the green markets of Paris, following those who insist on finding a use for that which society has cast off, whether out of necessity or activism.
Why it matters
Agnès Varda's documentary essay on gleaning, the act of collecting what others discard, which she connects to her own filmmaking practice.
