Is The Gleaners and I (Les Glaneurs et la Glaneuse) right for your family?
Movie 2000 82 min
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.
