        Overview

        A social documentary and study of those living on the margins of French society, Agnès Varda described her film as a ‘wandering road movie’. It’s that and more – a fascinating self-portrait of one the most influential filmmakers of the French New Wave.

        Ranked joint 67th in the 2022 Sight and Sound Great Films of All Time poll. Named the best French film of 2000 by the French Union of Film Critics, The Gleaners and I observes present-day gleaners in urban and rural France – harvesters, scavengers, artists – while looking back at the traditional ‘glaneurs’, famously represented in Jean- François Millet’s classical French painting.
