The Gleaners and I
Directed by Agnès Varda
Produced by Ciné-Tamaris
A lyrical, humanistic documentary that finds dignity and resourcefulness in the margins of society, celebrating those who refuse waste.
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.
