Cléo From 5 to 7

Agnès Varda / 1962
Cleo From 5 To 7 cover

This movie chronicles of the life of Cléo (Corinne Marchand), a seemingly superficial young singer, as she awaits her cancer diagnosis in real-time. Directed by Agnès Varda, it documents one woman's sudden struggle with mortality, but it’s also a celebration of life’s ephemeral joys--the Citroen DS, butterflies, encounters with eccentrics, and the charm of polka-dotted A-line dresses to name but a few.
