The film notes that the practice goes back many centuries to when peasants used to scavenge for leftover wheat after harvest. In their modern day equivalents, Varda encounters a famous chef and a wine-grower, both of whom are amateur gleaners. She also happens upon one character, sporting massive yellow boots, who has subsisted on nothing but garbage for ten years — and has never gotten sick. This film was screened at the 2000 Cannes Film Festival., Agnes Varda’s fascinating documentary traces the gleaners of France, the ‘descendants’ of those whose right was enshrined in law in 1554 to take that which has been discarded, from harvested fruits and vegetables in the country to the markets and dumpsters in the city.
