I'd been wanting to see this for decades, then it came up on Mubi, to my joy.
This is such a delightful, humanitarian documentary. Agnes has a slightly bonkers childlike perspective, in a genuine old-skool way of shoving a camera in someone's face and enticing them to be real.
There are some curious characters, including the man with a Masters Degree at the end, and the Lawyer who walks among cabbages :D
This might feel ancient to some, but despite being 20+ years old, it still addresses the topics of food waste and homelessness that are all too current these days, not to mention the re-acquiring of fridges and clothing. If you don't like the subtitles you could almost have the American Beauty 'plastic bag' theme play over it.
Just watch it.
