Cléo from 5 to 7
Synopsis
Agnès Varda eloquently captures Paris in the sixties with this real-time portrait of a singer set adrift in the city as she awaits test results of a biopsy. A chronicle of the minutes of one woman’s life, Cléo from 5 to 7 is a spirited mix of vivid vérité and melodrama, featuring a score by Michel Legrand and cameos by Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina.
Cinematic DNA
I watch it all the time... I feel like I'm constantly referencing it, whether it's the structure of it, or the way she builds the central character. The way that she looks at the female gaze, and how it is both subjective and objective, is something that I constantly return to.
