Synopsis

Agnes Varda's engaging, personal documentary looks at all levels of gleaning, or scavenging, in various parts of France. Varda visits with those who pick from already harvested fields in order to survive, as well as those who do it simply as a pastime or because they are offended by the waste. She also looks at those who use discarded materials in their artwork, urban gleaners who find nutritious foods in garbage cans, and others. As the director salutes this individualistic and idealistic activity, she contemplates how her own art form is really an act of gleaning images and putting found objects to use. Named Best Documentary by the National Society of Film Critics, the New York Film Critics Circle, the Los Angeles Film Critics Association, and the Chicago International Film Festival. Shot on digital video. In French with English Agnes Varda---France---2000---82 mins.

Slow but interesting look at a variety of gleaners -- of vegetables, second hand goods, trash can pickings, etc. -- and a more recycling way of life.
