The Gleaners and I
February 28 & March 2, 2020 5:00pm
Directed by Agnès Varda | 2000
Agnès Varda entered the extraordinarily rich final phase of her legendary career with this casually brilliant documentary-cum-self portrait. As she travels the countryside profiling an eclectic array of gleaners—those living on the margins of French society who scavenge for its leftovers—she frames herself as a cinematic gleaner, someone who collects images and moments few would think to pay attention to. The result is a witty, idiosyncratic, and disarmingly profound meditation on the meaning of value in a world of disposable consumerism.
