10/10

I really admire Agnes Varda, and this movie was another perfect example of her artistry.

One of the oldest occupations: the gleaners.
Discarded food and the people who sustain their lives with it

I am truly ignorant about Turkish cult movies, so I try to learn.
This one was a 10/10.
Among the Turkish films I’ve watched so far, there was one scene that impressed me the most: a shot moving upward from the bottom of an apartment building, revealing completely different lives in each flat.

A man who committed suicide the elderly, educated son of an ambassador, who once wanted to become an actor. The hardest thing in his life was having to ask others for help.
Above him, an old Russian man who had fled his country, playing chess with himself.
Above them, two lovers having sex.
And above them, a sex worker who, for the first time, experienced kindness from a man.
