Another great French New Wave film, which has been the film rut I have been stuck in recently. This one by Agnes Varda tells the tale of a singer, Cleo, and what she does between the hrs of 5 and 7 as she waits to learn about the results from her biopsy. The story itself is simple being told in almost real time, yet as the movie progresses you realize how complex the character of Cleo is. Also this is a very rich film, for a running time of only 90 minutes, there are so many symbolic representation of Cleo's life and just moments that stick with you as being slightly curious for an audience members viewpoint, yet are probably forgotten by Cleo since it is just a moment in her life and we don't remember every moment in our lives so why should she. I should also note that Corinne Marchand performance as Cleo is extrodinary. I give this film an 8/10, though it could score much higher on furthering viewing do to all its depth, which I feel I have yet to find.
8/10
