The Gleaners and I

1. The most surprising about this film was learning how much is wasted and how much is picked up.
2. Varda compares this film to gleaning because you are slowly gathering the information on this topic as you keep watching, just as you would glean anything else whether it's food or objects.
3. The images of gleaning by Millet and Van Gogh have two or three people out in the fields together whereas Varda presents the gleaners independently.
