Cléo de 5 à 7
Agnès Varda / FR, IT, 1962 / 90 min.
Agnès Varda records two hours’ of hip French singer Cléo’s life, wandering about Paris in the ‘années soixantes’. This classic constitutes a beautiful time capsule that feels fresh and invigorating to this day.
For too long she was unjustly overshadowed by her male contemporaries such as Jean-Luc Godard, François Truffaut and Eric Rohmer. Nevertheless, it was she who shot the first film to be referred to as ‘nouvelle vague’. Six years before Cléo de 5 à 7, Varda shot La pointe courte (1955), a romantic drama in a fishing village in the south of France, interlarded with footage of the fishing community’s parties and village life, all shot with a mobile, hand-held camera.
This film is restored in 2012 in 2K with the support of the French Film Archives of the CNC.
