Agnès Varda is travelling through France in search of tramps, junk dealers and beggars who, by choice or by necessity, live on the trash thrown away in dumps. They are today's gleaners, feeding on the waste of consumism, in the same way as once poor peasant women went into the fields to collect the grain left behind after the crops had been cut. Among them there are people that have been eating only garbage for years; improvized technicians making appliances by getting together all the bits and pieces they found in dumps; artists walking down the streets as if they were shopping in a supermarket. The director defines herself a gleaner too and pours into the film the emotions of past times when she had to face precariosuness.
Born in Brussels in
1928, before becoming a film-maker she worked for the National Popular Theatre
in Paris as a stage photographer. Her first work La pointe courte (1954) is now considered by the critics an
antecedent of the Nouvelle Vague. She rose to fame with Cleo from five to seven (1961), which shows the pecular traits of
her style: narration inserted into a documentary frame, a practical and
functional use of photography, a keen interest in women's matters. In Le bonheur (1964), awarded win the
Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival, she deals with the problems of
domestic everyday life. But her most effective film is Vagabond (1985), awarded with the Golden Lion at Venice Festival.
