CLÉO FROM 5 to 7 is a groundbreaking work of French New Wave Cinema which chronicles two hours in the life of a Parisian pop singer. The expert eye of director Agnès Varda follows along in real-time as the usually carefree Cléo contemplates her mortality while daily life continues around her. Varda’s signature creative styles shine throughout. In French w/ subtitles.
