Agnès Varda, Grande Dame of the French New Wave, has made 2001's most acclaimed non-fiction film-a self-described "wandering-road documentary." Beginning with the famous Jean-François Millet painting of women gathering wheat left over from a harvest, she focuses her ever-seeking eye on gleaners: those who scour already-reaped fields for the odd potato or turnip. Her investigation leads us 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. Varda's own ruminations on her life as a filmmaker (a gleaner of sorts) give her a connection to her subjects that creates a touching human portrait. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

Definitely an interesting documentary, at least in terms of the topic the director chose to work on. But in the end, what's even more interesting is how extensively she managed to grasp the subject, showing all the aspects that such collecting entails while remaining true to the people she wanted to tell the story of, seemingly poorer and lost at first glance. You can find something more in them as well.
