'The Gleaners and I' (2000)

'They called me 'The Ancestor of the New Wave' when I was only 30. I had seen very few films, which, in a way, gave me both the naivety and the daring to do what I did.'

Director: Agnès Varda ( #BOTD )

Just watched Elevator to the Gallows for the first time. I knew this was supposed to be a good film, but it far exceeded my expectations. Beautifully shot and performed, plus a fantastic score. It had me on the edge of my seat, I loved every minute!
