Synopsis

Varda turns her attention to gleaners—people who search through fields after harvests for leftover potatoes or turnips. Her exploration takes her from remote areas of the French countryside to the quiet hours of Parisian green markets, following those who seek value in what society has discarded, whether driven by need or by principle.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 12

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
