The Gleaners and I: Two Years Later

In Agnès Varda's poignant exploration, THE GLEANERS AND I: HOW EVERYTHING BECAME HER, we delve further into the lives and perspectives of those who find meaning and artistry in discarded objects and overlooked spaces. As a sequel to her groundbreaking documentary, Varda reconnects with several characters from the first film, capturing their evolving experiences and relationships with gleaning as a way of life. This thought-provoking work masterfully blends intimate portraiture, social commentary, and visual poetry, inviting viewers to reflect on the often-ignored connections between consumption, waste, and human resilience. Through Varda's unique lens, we witness the transformative power of gleaning as a creative force that transcends the boundaries of class, culture, and generation.
