French New Wave: Cléo from 5 to 7 (Varda 1962)

Cléo de 5 à 7 was directed by Agnès Varda in 1962. It's going to be interesting, very different from both Godard and Truffaut. Interestingly, it takes place in real time, over 90 minutes in Cléo's life as she waits test results to see if she is going to live. It will be interesting to see how Varda's approach differs from Godard and Truffaut's. This is a feminist film before feminism is really a thing.

Remember, watch the movie first, come ready to talk about it!

We will meet on Friday, January 2, 2026, at 8PM, at LEANING TOWER OF PIZZA at 24th Street and Lyndale, same as always. See you there!
