MPAA RATING: Not rated
Starring Bodan Litnanski, Agnès Varda, and François Wertheimer
An intimate, picaresque inquiry into French life, as lived by the country's poor and its provident, as well as by the film's own director, Agnès Varda. The aesthetic, political and finally moral point of departure for Varda are gleaners, those individuals who pick at already-reaped fields for the odd potato, the leftover turnip, and in previous generations were immortalized by the likes of Millet and Van Gogh. (Zeitgeist Films)

Buttered Popcorn gave it a 5:
Way too self-indulgent for me. A little less presence by the film-maker would have gone a long way.
Helen C. gave it a 10:
Wonderfully playful, politically sound and intelligently made. A unique offering to the cinema. Beautiful and moving.
