As a new exhibition dedicated to her work opens in Paris, discover references behind five of the French director’s films – from second-wave feminism to art by Niki de Saint Phalle and Goya
The Gleaners and I, 2000 After almost a decade away from directing, Varda made her comeback with The Gleaners and I. In the opening scenes she heads to the Musée d’Orsay in Paris where she looks at Jean-François Millet’s painting The Gleaners, in which peasant women gather stray stalks of wheat after the harvest.
Varda puts herself in a tableau vivant of Jules Breton’s 1875 painting The Gleaner. Establishing herself as the film’s second ‘glaneuse’, she puts down a bundle of hay to pick up her camera. For Varda, filming is also an act of gleaning. Varda praises her new lightweight camcorder which allows her to film on the move, to collect subjects as and when she finds them.
