The Gleaners and I
The Gleaners and I
NAME OF FILM: THE GLEANERS AND I
DIRECTOR(S): Agnès Varda
GENRE: Documentary Film
SYNOPSIS: This delightful documentary is really a self-portrait of Varda, finding her fully embracing the freedom of digital video to craft a personal, political, and casually profound celebration of “gleaners”: those living on the margins of French society who scavenge for its leftovers–taking everything from surplus in the fields, to rubbish in trash cans, and oysters washed up after a storm.
