Cléo From 5 To 7

Agnès Varda eloquently captures Paris in the sixties with this real-time portrait of a singer (Corinne Marchand) set adrift in the city as she awaits test results of a biopsy. A chronicle of the minutes of one womans life, Cléo from 5 to 7 is a spirited mix of vivid vérité and melodrama, featuring a score by Michel Legrand (The Umbrellas of Cherbourg) and cameos by Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina.

"Varda has placed her warm, witty personality front and center in many of her documentaries, but her charm bubbles to the surface even in this fictive tragedy, charting a few hours in the life of a woman faced suddenly with the certainty of her death." - Movie Mezzanine

"One of the Nouvelle Vague's boldest achievements." - David Parkinson, Empire Magazine

"Beautifully shot and realized, [it] offers an irreplaceable time capsule of Paris, and fans of Michel Legrand wont want to miss the extended sequence in which he visits the heroine and rehearses with her. The films approximations of real time are exactly that, but innovative and thrilling nonetheless. Underrated when it came out and unjustly neglected since, its not only the major French New Wave film made by a woman, but a key work of that exciting periodmoving, lyrical, and mysterious." - Jonathan Rosenbaum, Chicago Reader
