The Gleaners & I

`

Gleaming is to collect the fallen ears after harvesting. Gleaming is an ancient way, but now there are machines, and there are not many ears of wheat left in the field, so there is no need for gleaning. Although the behavior of gleaning is about to become extinct, people who pick up rags still exist in our society. There are people picking up junk in cities and villages They make a living off the things no one eats They rejoice at picking up a little tasty treat
Someone told about a guy in...

Moaning for nothing, don't understand life, don't understand gratitude

I got to know this director mainly because I watched her (The End of the World Fallen Girl), and I never understood what she wanted to express in that film. Only after watching the gleaner did I realize that she was really a kind of lazy person. Some people say that she is sympathetic, why not say that she has never experienced the thinking of working people or the people at the bottom of the society, and that she thinks that she can judge the thinking of the people at the bottom according to...

Roger Ebert's translation of film reviews

(Four stars out of 10) In the alley, we saw people hunting for treasure in the rubbish heap. The Gleaners place them in an ancient legend. The practice of scavenging has been protected by the French constitution since Henry IV established the right to scavenge in 1554, and the men and women who scavenge the trash cans and markets of Paris today are the gleanings of Miller and Van Gogh. (Note: It is the same English word as "scavenger") descendants. Scavengers usually follow the...

Traveler's Journey of Literary Discovery

Contrary to my expectations, the director Varda was actually a young French lady, but her hand holding the camera did not shake at all, which really made me admire the young and strong crayons.


From the perspective of a traveler, Varda starts from her small home like a cat's nest, and starts from a history book about the gleaners, and guides the audience to embark on a journey of "gleaning" with her lens.

I really like how she tells the story in the first person and...

Resource Reuse: The Contemporary Scavenger

At first I thought it was a relatively boring documentary, but it turned out to be a bit interesting when I opened it. BGM is so foreign, have you heard of French rap? . . Anyway, the first time I heard French rap was in this 2000 documentary.

In modern times, some people still pick up things on the road, including unwanted potatoes in the field. One of them picked up a lot of potatoes in the shape of a heart. Others picked up the grapes on the roadside...

Free and ebullient, deft and genuinely caring, casual and all-encompassing. Everything comes out like an inspiration, it's really inspiring and makes people want to create/perceive something like that too. Oh, that's great, just capture whatever you want to...

I really like Varda! Heart-shaped potatoes, grabbing trucks, painting with leaky walls, misrecording a dangling camera cover and simply scoring it and saying it's dancing. I wish my mother would be like this when she grows old. Also, from Miller's paintings, to homeless pickers, to pickers of different purposes in a broader sense, is her consistent, compassionate and human story, beautifully light-hearted quick...

Send you a pile of potatoes in the shape of a heart, please look at the losers in the world tenderly; send you a clock without hands, so that you will not feel the time flies... In the camera, your hands are covered with calluses, but dear Agnès, You are so loving! Even if the world has become a rubbish heap, please don't let yourself become a monster kidnapped by consumerism, start subtracting today, don't create greater waste, start with garbage...

The whole article is filled with a gentle atmosphere, which comes from the female-specific innocence and curiosity of this 70-year-old old man. The attitude towards garbage seems to always be a topic, and different types of scavengers (I prefer it to be translated A picture scroll composed of "The Gleaners"), which interprets the harmony of life under Varda's...

The director showed his concern and sympathy for the living conditions of the scavengers in a very special way, paying more attention to a group of special people in art. If she doesn't say it, maybe I'll never know how they look at life, maybe I'll just think they're just a bunch of garbage pickers! Art is really a "cheap" thing, it's not very noble, it's a way of treating...
