Yeah, I totally agree with the last couple of comments. I love Varda's two most popular films (which are the only others I've seen), Cleo from 5 to 7 and Vagabond, but The Gleaners and I is a rambling, tenuous, and only intermittently interesting mess. She makes all these trash diggers seem like rebellious, beautiful heroes, but really they're nothing but trash diggers. The political message is negligible. I like the stuff about Varda's fleeting life, but it's very poorly integrated into the rest of the film. 5/10.
