Agnès Varda, Grande Dame of the French New Wave, has made 2001's most acclaimed non-fiction film-a self-described "wandering-road documentary." Beginning with the famous Jean-François Millet painting of women gathering wheat left over from a harvest, she focuses her ever-seeking eye on gleaners: those who scour already-reaped fields for the odd potato or turnip. Her investigation leads us from forgotten corners of the French countryside to off-hours at the green markets of Paris, following those who insist on finding a use for that which society has cast off, whether out of necessity or activism. Varda's own ruminations on her life as a filmmaker (a gleaner of sorts) give her a connection to her subjects that creates a touching human portrait. (texto oficial do distribuidor)

Definitely an interesting documentary, at least in terms of the subject matter the director chose. However, what ultimately makes it even more interesting is how comprehensively she managed to grasp the topic, to show what all such collecting entails, and yet remained faithful to the people she wanted to talk about, seemingly poorer, almost lost. And you'll find something more in them too.
