The Gleaners and I (2000)

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.

While investigating (apparently on a whim) the longstanding French laws allowing people to "glean" leftover fruits and vengetables after a harvest, Agnes Varda sidetracks into a meditative exploration of "cinecriture", aging, the innate lack of difference between "junk" and "art", etc. The people she meets are freaks, survivors, semi-saints. In between, she films her own hands and prepares for death, allowing this film to act as a self-written obituary. It makes me happier every time I see it.

Agnes Varda has the touch of gold, and this film essay on the discarded treasures of society, and their relation to art and life bears her full, glorious signature. "Gleaners" are those who use what society has thrown away, from food to refrigerators. They have a long history, particularly in France, and traditionally followed the harvest to pick up leftover food. Artists like Van Gogh immortalized them in paint. Varda's film has done the same again, for this age. But not only is The Gleaners and I fascinating and informative, but it is also moving, charming, and funny. But what elevates the film to greatness is its personal touch. Varda defines not only mankind by what we throw away, but also herself as an artist (who by their nature "glean," however intangibly), and her own fear of death, which by her estimation cannot be far away. I loved this film.

A wonderful premise for a documentary that has some great moments of interest with the whole philsophy of "one man's garbage is another man's treasure," as well as how wasteful we are as a people. Sadly it made me very sleepy at times.

One of my favorite films and the world my works & i live in.The realms of Art Brut.

Varda is, herself, a gleaner. Her eyes are her tools, and her camera is her basket. Insatiably curious, she seeks, finds, redeems. ... When we pay attention, attention pays.
