The Gleaners and I (2000)
Original title: Les Glaneurs et la Glaneuse
The Gleaners and I is a 2000 French-language documentary movie directed by Agnès Varda, with a running time of 1h 22m. It stars Agnès Varda, Bodan Litnanski and François Wertheimer.
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.
