Gleaners and I Response

1. What was most surprising to you about this film? The thing that I found most surprising is how the film’s language was French. I also liked the rap that was in French. It showed me a new side of the French culture.

2. How does Varda, a well-respected experimental film maker, compare her work with gleaning? Varda mentioned that, "It wasn't nice but she liked doing it". Just like gleaning the film it wasn't nice but people sometimes enjoyed doing it. Also most of the things she filmed were objects that she found.

3. How do the images of gleaning by Millet & Van Gogh differ from those Varda presents in her film? The difference between them were the time difference. Also Millet & Van Gogh had a painting and Varda actually had a film of people gleaning.
