The Gleaners And I
Agnes Varda’s documentary follows the French filmmaker as she explores the world of ‘gleaning’.
Agnes Varda’s acclaimed 2000 documentary follows the French filmmaker as she explores the world of ‘gleaning’. Historically, gleaning meant collecting leftover crops after a harvest. Here, however, Varda offers a more wide-ranging and modern take, exploring how the practice has evolved and expanded in both rural and urban environments. Varda takes a close look at the people who engage in picking up leftover items, and she also wonders if her own filmmaking is a version of gleaning itself. The Gleaners and I is a playful, insightful and compassionate modern classic.
