The Gleaners and I by Agnès Varda

This unconventional documentary explores the world of gleaners—people living on the margins who forage what society throws away. Self-reflective in her approach, filmmaker Agnès Varda positions herself as a “gleaner” too. Collecting images and ideas through a handheld camera, Varda ruminates on the formation of cinema, Michelin-star restaurants, and the beauty of heart-shaped potatoes. A later work by a leading voice of the French New Wave, The Gleaners and I remains a testament to Varda’s distinct documentary vision. 2000, France, DCP, in French with English subtitles, 82 min.
