Varda’s ground-breaking and hugely successful documentary explores the idea of ‘gleaning’, from the ancient practice enshrined in paintings such as Jean-François Millet’s 1857 ‘Des Glaneuses’, to the victims of late capitalism who scavenge in supermarket bins both to survive and to denounce consumerist excess. Mixing documentary reportage and interviews with art and photography, Varda’s investigation ranges widely across France, offering a poignant yet heartlifting discourse on her relationship to others, her practice as a filmmaker and her own ageing.
