Cléo de 5 à 7 (1962)

Hoezo in KINO

As a young pop singer drifts through Paris while awaiting medical news, Varda crafts a vivid portrait of how time, fear, and self-image collide. Shot in near-real time, Varda’s second feature aligns her with the French New Wave, but her focus on a female gaze set her apart from her male contemporaries. The city itself becomes a mirror, shifting from frivolity to fragility as Cléo discovers her own mortality. Today, it remains a landmark in feminist film history and one of the most vibrant depictions of Paris ever made. There are screenings with Dutch and screenings with English subtitles.

Storyline

Agnès Varda eloquently captures Paris in the sixties with this real-time portrait of a singer set adrift in the city as she awaits test results of a biopsy. A chronicle of the minutes of one woman’s life, Cléo from 5 to 7 is a spirited mix of vivid vérité and melodrama, featuring a score by Michel Legrand and cameos by Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina.
