    Both the content and form are modern versions of Miller's "Gleaner". Scavenging has evolved from the margins of a livelihood and political economy to other attributes such as ethics, art, and lifestyle, but fortunately, it has not overwhelmed its political nature. Such a subjective expression of the old lady is too...

    "Pick things up and there will be no waste." Those are not rubbish, not waste, but dinner, source of life, fun, artwork, and masterpiece; they will be true environmentalists, reformers, and creators. The scene where the vegetarian scavenger picking up fruits and vegetables and chewing at the station newspaper man with a master’s degree and his free class for refugees; wiper sculpture, doll house, heart-shaped potato, dog with boxing gloves, needle-free...

    I don't know how Varda did it, but her documentaries will always have a unique charm, coming from her generous and compassionate mind, humble and gentle kindness and childlike perspective full of creativity and fun. She has a unique rhythm, walking behind the modern fast-paced, walking on the opposite side of selling anxiety. Her film captures and presents a state of life outside the "success model", allowing people who are bound by contemporary material anxiety to see behind this. The...

    Those who are forced to pick up waste are worthy of pity, and those who take the initiative to pick up waste are respected. And the cutest is Varda herself, this old lady like an old...

    @FLC Varda Retrospective. Potatoes that can be picked, grapes that cannot be picked, apples under strict regulations, oysters in gray areas, juxtaposed; The word’s top student, the scavenger social activist, voices heard; the ear pickers in art history: those in groups and those who fled before the rainstorm came, made visible. The digital video camera excites her, and the beating lens cover is purely an accident. The trucks of childhood were captured one by one, with old monster hands and...

    The first part of the long review under this article is well written. An excellent documentary director can only make his pictures full of emotions if he loves this land and the people living on it, instead of just showing his own rebelliousness to win the beauty. Name, after all, complaining is always easy, and how to put forward some feasible and constructive opinions is more meaningful. In the new millennium, Grandma Varda has reached the age when she can do her own way. She is more...

    Agnès has shown great interest in the lives of marginalized people. She opposes consumerism-led lifestyles and encourages the full use of resources, but the main theme is definitely not limited to the cliché of "environmental protection". The choice of material seems random, but in fact it follows Agnès's unique and refined logic. Unfolding from the famous painting "The Gleaner", the scene skips homeless people, artists, scavenger lovers, and social activists. The pattern is gradually expanded,...

    Sanmao said: "The fun of scavenging waste, in addition to the actual joy of getting something for nothing, is more attractive. It is always an unknown. In the next minute, no one knows what good things can be found. It It is a mystery that has no ending, no answer, and no ending." Although I have no hobby of scavenging waste, since I was young, I like to wear clothes that others don't wear and use things that others have eliminated. This is also part of scavenging. /In the interview, an aunt...

    Creators must be concealed, and Varda is no exception. In addition, this DV film can clearly feel Varda’s long-standing hobby of playing with new equipment, but unfortunately he is old, and the gameplay is much worse than when he was young. He is still playing, but he can’t play well...

    Glean's original intent and the use of metaphor refer to two parties. Junk is...

  • 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.
