The Gleaners and I

Les glaneurs et la glaneuse

Dir. Agnes Varda

France 2000 | Colour | 78 mins | Documentary

Cast: François Wertheimer, Agnès Varda and Bodan Litnanski

In 2000 Agnès Varda travelled the French countryside to study the world of foragers and scavengers called The Gleaners. Varda likens her filmmaking to the gleaning of ideas and images from interior and exterior journeys and admits to being a gleaner herself, which gives her a special connection with her subjects in this honest and intriguing documentary.
