The Gleaners & I Comments

Free and ebullient, deft and genuinely caring, casual and all-encompassing. Everything comes out like an inspiration, it's really inspiring and makes people want to create/perceive something like that too. Oh, that's great, just capture whatever you want to...

I really like Varda! Heart-shaped potatoes, grabbing trucks, painting with leaky walls, misrecording a dangling camera cover and simply scoring it and saying it's dancing. I wish my mother would be like this when she grows old. Also, from Miller's paintings, to homeless pickers, to pickers of different purposes in a broader sense, is her consistent, compassionate and human story, beautifully light-hearted quick...

Send you a pile of potatoes in the shape of a heart, please look at the losers in the world tenderly; send you a clock without hands, so that you will not feel the time flies... In the camera, your hands are covered with calluses, but dear Agnès, You are so loving! Even if the world has become a rubbish heap, please don't let yourself become a monster kidnapped by consumerism, start subtracting today, don't create greater waste, start with garbage...

The whole article is filled with a gentle atmosphere, which comes from the female-specific innocence and curiosity of this 70-year-old old man. The attitude towards garbage seems to always be a topic, and different types of scavengers (I prefer it to be translated A picture scroll composed of "The Gleaners"), which interprets the harmony of life under Varda's...

The director showed his concern and sympathy for the living conditions of the scavengers in a very special way, paying more attention to a group of special people in art. If she doesn't say it, maybe I'll never know how they look at life, maybe I'll just think they're just a bunch of garbage pickers! Art is really a "cheap" thing, it's not very noble, it's a way of treating...

Parsley, heart-shaped potatoes, black-spotted apples, broken electrical appliances, old clothes, and so on, are probably the survival meaning and dignity of the gleaners. They unconsciously become groups against the consumer society. At the end of the film, there is a Master vegetarians come by train every day to pick up the food they need, and then find time to teach French language classes to African immigrants for free. There is a short clip of the director taking a selfie with DV, and the...

So moving and so smart. My friends in the Netherlands also picked up the chairs on the side of the road. When I bought a 5 Euro coffee machine, the owner of the vintage shop next to my house even gave me a cup. Alas I am proud gleaners...

A concern, the flow of life and the stillness of the...

A road-movie-style documentary, Varda is a veteran of video, interesting and straight to reality. Metaphysical analysis is boring and unintentional. Useful and useless, it is very Zhuangzi. The choices and attitudes of scavengers are the multi-faceted vitality of society. The wasteful system of consumerism is absurd and advanced, but it is difficult to take a step back, so the economic crisis has come. If you cannot be a commodity, you have no value, not even a...

In a sense, scavengers are also abandoned people. /Collecting is symbolically defined as a mental activity of searching for facts, actions, deeds, gathering information, for a forgetful person like me, these gatherings tell me where I have been. Speaking of which, documentaries are also one of the ways of gleaning. The director is a very lovely person, and his focus is very...
