You can approach things very near. I can, with one hand, film the other one. I like the idea that one hand would be always gleaning, the other one always filming. I like very much the idea of the hands. The hands are the tool of the gleaners, you know.
Hands are the tool of the painter, the artist.
Those shots are so beautiful, so loaded with emotion. When I did my own film, I thought I was just doing my self-portrait, in a way. And his hand, with the little ring there. And when the man told me that, I cried. I had not realized it.
