In this episode, we journey through the streets of Paris with Agnès Varda's groundbreaking film, "Cléo from 5 to 7".
Released in 1962, this French New Wave classic offers a real-time portrait of a singer, Cléo, as she awaits the results of a medical test that could confirm a cancer diagnosis. As the clock ticks, Cléo confronts her fears, her identity, and the gaze of those around her.
Join us as we discuss the film's narrative structure, its exploration of existential themes, and its commentary on the role of women in society. We also delve into Varda's unique directorial style and the significance of the film in the broader context of French cinema. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to the world of Cléo (or Florence wink wink nudge nudge), I'm sure you'll enjoy what we have to say.
