The Gleaners and I

Classic 4.26/5 2000 · Directed by Agnès Varda · Starring Agnès Varda, Bodan Litnanski, François Wertheimer · Documentary · 83 min

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.
