gleaners & i review

well, although this was a very interesting film, i wouldn't exactly recommend it. The movie was a documentary about gleaning, filmed theoretically by one frail old woman and her camera. There was a lot of talk about gleaning, picking, and gypsies all across europe. As always for me, subtitles make movies harder to watch, and less interesting. The focus of the movie was on gleaning, but the interesting parts were her interviews of the gleaners and their lifestyles. I think my favorite line in the documentary was when one of the gleaners she was interviewing said with a completely straight face, "Here's an apple with nothing going for it, like an ugly and stupid woman."priceless. My other memorable moment was when she was driving down the road and capturing trucks in her hand. She would hold the camera up close to her and "capture" the trucks as they drove by. It was so simple, but looked awesome in the screen. It was something i could see myself doing on a long road trip years from now.
