The Gleaners & I Reviews

Miller's Gleaners are etched into everyone's DNA, and the serenity and balance in his paintings make me feel the joy of the harvest. Bend over to glean, and contact with the earth constitutes a closed circuit. This seemingly sustainable action becomes eternal, where people are permanently fixed....

I watched Granny Varda's second documentary, again on a dim winter afternoon. It was a wonderful feeling. Many things are hard to agree with. It is only in such a sense of alienation that we can observe the beauty of life in other places in the flow. Let's go.

Very bold shooting, many flashes of...

This film makes me look completely new. It seems like I should do something, I should pick something up, I should be restrained, I should not be stupid . There is a book about documentaries saying that this format of documentaries is called diary documentaries. It is very interesting. It is a more...

Varda once said in the film, honestly, this is not a technique of the film. However, honesty is far better than any artistic technique. The pursuit of truth and sincerity is Varda's consistent attitude. Just like her naughty and cute shooting heart-shaped potatoes, shooting sheep blocking the road....

Documentary creation from an action

I think this is the best documentary I have ever watched. Seriously, looking at its unremarkable cover and the name of Agnes Varda, the mother of the French New Wave, I always thought it was a super boring movie. But I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it... 　　First of all, this film was shot in...

The film seems to be Agnès Varda's use of her compassionate and casual fun to discuss consumerism or social classification. In fact, the film is a kind of awe of time from the horizontal direction, which comes from the grandmother's gradual realization of the passing of herself (this is more and...

Rap is sung by the old lady herself, which is really interesting. I happened to be reading Marx in the social science class. Watching this film can see obvious traces of Marx’s thought: the very action of gleaning is illegimized by the notion of private property. The potatoes are dumped for their...

On the highway, in the rice fields, next to the grape trusses, under the apple trees. The closing supermarket, the closed supermarket, the magical world full of used refrigerators, and the clock without pointers. With a DV camera in hand, they wandered and floated among them, using a kind of warm...

As a film noob, this is the first time I have heard of Anette Varda, and it is also the first time I have seen her work.

Through Teacher Dai’s introduction, I learned that Varda is known as the mother of the new wave of French films. He has been engaged in the film industry with various identities...
