| Description: |
Cleo de 5 a 7 is a classic of French New Wave cinema, depicting 90 minutes in the life of its heroine Cleo, as well as presenting aspects of daily life in early 1960s Paris. Ungar skilfully examines the film's historical importance as well as its technical complexity and visual beauty. |
| Synopsis: |
Cleo de 5 a 7, Agnes Varda's classic 1962 work depicts, in near real-time, ninetyminutes in the life of Cleo, a young woman in Paris awaiting the results ofmedical tests that she fears will confirm a fatal condition. The film, whosevisual beauty matches its evocation of early-Fifth Republic Paris, was a majorpoint of reference for the French New Wave despite the fact that Varda neverconsidered herself a member of the core Cahiers du cinema group of critics-turned-film-makers.Ungar provides a close reading of the film and situates it in its social, politicaland cinematic contexts, tracing Varda's early career as a student of art historyand as a photographer, the history of post-war French film, and the lengthyAlgerian war to which Cleo's health concerns and ambitions to become a popsinger make her more or less oblivious. His study is the first to set a reading ofCleo's formal and technical complexity alongside an analysis of its status as avisual document of its historical moment. |
