Cléo de 5 à 7
Agnès Varda / FR, 1962 / 90 min.
This year, Sunsets’ outdoor screenings are dedicated to female makers. 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.
