Agnès Varda’s follow-up to her acclaimed documentary THE GLEANERS AND I takes us deeper into the world of those who find purpose and beauty in the refuse of society, revisiting many of the original film’s subjects.
A partir de um célebre quadro de Millet, o filme de Agnès Varda é um olhar sobre a persistência na sociedade contemporânea dos respigadores, aqueles que vivem da recuperação de coisas (detritos, sobras) que os outros não querem ou deixam para trás. A respigadora, nesse sentido é Agnès Varda, que experimentando pela primeira vez uma pequena câmara digital, se quer assumir como uma "recuperadora" das imagens que os outros não querem ver nem fazer, e que portanto deixam para trás.
Commissioned by French television, this is a short documentary on the neo-classical statues found throughout Paris, predominantly on the walls of buildings, holding up windows, roofs etc.
In this story of friendship and reproductive rights, 14 years in the relationship between two very dissimilar women are chronicled. Pauline is a middle-class city girl, at odds with her very conventional family. Suzanne is several years older, a country girl with two illegitimate children and another (whom she cannot support) on the way. Pauline loans Suzanne money for an abortion. At this point, the two separate and communicate mainly through postcards. Some years later, they meet at an abortion rally, and they have many adventures and stories to share with one another.
