The Gleaners and I (2000)
A quirky odd documentary about gleaners and food waste scavengers in France in 2000. It is very artsy and experimental, and sort of interesting. There is a not so subtle criticism of capitalism here with how it creates food waste and removes people from connecting with nature and food resources. But even though it is fairly short at 82 minutes, it doesn’t really have enough to warrant that runtime. It is an interesting unique little film by Varda, but not much more than that.
