The History of Concrete Review: John Wilson's Ruminative Documentary Is Blisteringly Funny and Deeply Moving
Back in 2000, at the advent of the digital camera, French New Wave pioneer Agnès Varda made The Gleaners and I. One of the most consequential documentaries of the new century, the film is at once an appraisal of Varda's own aging body, an exploration of a new cinematic tool, and, most prominently, an investigation into food scraps. How Varda takes a subject like discarded food and turns it into something much more esoteric and profound, quotidian yet complex, is a bit of magic.
