Leprechaun K @LeprechaunKing Jan 11 Varda's Cleo 5 to 7 is an iconic movie representing the New Wave French cinema. 60+ years later and it is still visually stunning and relevant. See more Frenkie T @RT32638069 Nov 6 This film is about France in 1962. About Paris in 1962. It is about a fortune teller with a queue of people waiting to see her, about people in cafés talking about their lives, about street magicians and bus conductors, about protesting youth, about soldiers who will have to fight in Algeria tomorrow, even though they don't quite understand why. Ultimately, it is about love and the place of women in this world. This is a film about the spirit of the times. And Cleo is France itself. Her metamorphosis from a capricious singer to a mature woman is the essence of the transformation of the entire country. And the charming Corinne Marchand makes this transformation incredibly pleasing to the eye. See more Tua S @Tua2001 Aug 4 Some movies you just can't help returning to, this is one such movie. Loved this one, and it also inspired me to watch and explore the French New Wave more closely See more Will G @Wgoodeve 04/08/2025 A great movie about a singer in France. The music was good. I liked the scenes of Paris. The acting was well done. A good French New Wave movie.

The love interest part came later than expected but I get that the film wanted to seem a little rushed towards the end, matching Cleo's anticipation of her tests results. The unsettled feeling of Cleo is directly related to the events that happen and it has you on edge the whole time and gets more agitating towards the end, as you get closer to the doctors final verdict. Would definitely watch again See more julie b @RT59310387 09/27/2024 In a contained vessel, it’s both a rich portrait of a woman transforming over 90 mins, but also of a city - so many snippets and shots of Paris in the 60s - conversations overheard, radio announcements, people watching. Loved the way it was shot, with a variety of styles/perspectives, and use of mirrors throughout. The best parts are the scenes with Antoine traveling around Paris; they remind me of Before Sunset 🫶🏻. “You seem to be waiting for something, rather than someone” “They just like to be loved. They’re afraid to give themselves, to lose something” See more Read all reviews
