    The soundtrack and editing make the mundane waste material shine. This reorganization of "waste" also fits the theme of "Glean". During the shooting process, Varda himself is constantly picking up, thereby eliminating the distance between the subject and the subject. By the end of the film, those heart-shaped potatoes are rotten, and the clocks without hands are pieced together into devices that paradoxically resist...

    Extending from action to behavior, and magnifying from behavior to phenomenon, the people in the camera never provoke pity, but only respect, they are independent, interesting, and respect value, and Varda did not let himself stand in a high stance of compassion, Instead, she frequently appeared in the camera and participated in the pick-up. The two chairs and the clock without pointers she picked up were the cutest in the audience, right! Naturally, there is a condemnation of excessive...

    Slip from Miller to earthly rap; place one hand on Rembrandt to be clapped by the other; drift by in front of a clock without hands. Just ask Varda if she's the funniest old lady in the...

    I haven't watched many of Varda's movies, but I liked every one of them. Primitive, community, marginal, behavior, image, contrast, relationship between objects and people, Varda's self, meaning and preference, association, etc. blend, always feel a kind of natural power from her films . When I saw that I finally remembered the days when I moved out of the apartment with the exploding head, when I cleaned up the room, I found that we were really two trash guys. There are paper bags collected in...

    All the things brought home, whether people or things, are only because of the new possibilities they bring!!! Looking at the painting under natural light in a mess in the wind is really a god-level moment, and so light and natural, hey. The entry point of Gleaner is really sharp, and the interpretability is too strong; it is also so light and interesting because it was the journey that Varda embarked on. Can you take Varda...

    Before the screening, the old lady explained the reason for her appearance, probably because she didn't want the audience to think that she had the pity of a "savior" behind the camera. Who knew that the lovely old lady in the film appeared so frequently, with red and white hair, densely wrinkled hands, using her hands to circle the trucks in front of the car windows, and painting with the leaky ceiling... Such a weird fragment was diluted The scavenger’s tragic and serious reasons fulfilled...

    Varda's films also explore the realm of installation art, the reflexive media, and the occurrence of film. It seems random, but the editing is extremely detailed, slowly advancing the theme. Criticism of the consumer society goes hand in hand with attention to the bottom. The rap music in the film is sung by the old lady herself! Heart-shaped potatoes are the point of reference. The clock without hands is definitely the brightest point of the...

    Meeting with fate, walking with nature, like a gleaner picking up images and stories. Along the way, I don't know who will pick up what has been abandoned or forgotten, what will be left behind, and what kind of person will pick it up. Varda, carrying a DV, is like a little girl who has got a new toy. She unconsciously shoots the dance with the lens cap. In my eyes, it is the best pronoun of the word "Moe". (But later, the attention was all attracted by the career prospects of a Master of...

    People themselves are just deserters of God, but fortunately some people like to pick us up-the best documentary I have ever seen! I think this movie should be called "The...

    Bending down may be forced by life, or artistic creation, or just a kind of liking; what is picked up is the simple and eternal material, the inadvertently passing time, the scenery and taste of life. "The ability to get along with concrete things is the starting point for human beings to learn how to get along with their own world. Photography here has become a kind of salvage, reconstruction and redemption of life." Don't be afraid of a pair of damaged palms, as long as the soul is cleansed,...

The Gleaners & I quotes

  • Agnès Varda: He looked at an empty clock but put it back down. I picked it up and took it home. A clock without hands works fine for me. You don't see time passing.
