Kind of lukewarm on this one. I liked the photography, including the excellent use of tracking shots, and the score was very nice. But I didn't really care what happened to this silly, spoiled, drama queen, who by the end of the picture is only slightly more bearable. But bonus points for the interesting real-time narrative structure.

People got a lot more done in two hours in the good old days, evidently. I'm still not sold on most of the New Wave I've seen, but I really like how Varda ensouls a supposedly fairly superficial character and a bunch of random everyday goings-on with the spectre of mortality, the war and violence looming just beyond, the certainty of uncertainty... Also, there's boobies.

Death or transformation: a phenomenology of perception as conditioned by intentionality, and an account of the potential for something like a caesura in the flow of life's course to lead to psychic rearrangement. Simple, subtle and quietly affecting, with some great moments (e.g., the instantaneous change of tone in the Legrand scene when she begins to sing "Sans toi"). Varda and Demy seem to share an understanding of how tracking shots possess a strange capacity to generate a mood.

Intellectually, I get that writer-director Agnes Varda is telling a philosophical story on the existential concerns of women. But you can do that while making an engaging picture. It's a melodramatic soap opera with perfume commercial visuals. The construction is odd: unnecessary chapters, monotonous tone, jagged music, and a childish recurring theme of the hero believing superstitions. It's hard to recommend--even for film students looking for alternatives to the French New Wave canon. Avoid.

The film is deceptively simple, following Cleo over the span of two hours as she awaits her medical test results. The photography is alittle tight but very charming in its own way and while not much happens eventwise in the film, a lot happens with the character of Cleo. Some of the secondary actors are not very good but Corinne Marchand is wonderful in the lead and draws you in to her thoughts and feelings with her reactions to the world around her.

One of those films that is so packed with content and style that it's a full on barrage. Only in the hands of a master film maker does such an assemblage make for more than the sum of its parts. And Varda is certainly a master in that regard as she shows so clearly here. Fundamentally this is a film about death, more specifically being-toward death. As Cleo traverses Paris she starts to realise authentic being.

That feeling of not knowing what to do with your hands. The excruciating anxiety of hyper-awareness, of oneself and one's surroundings, and the mere passing of time is dreadful. I'm not sure another film has captured that agitated state so well. What a relief to lose yourself for a moment - in a new outfit, or an amusing movie, or for a brief respite at a familiar watering hole. Beyond all that, it's a fun and enlightening transport to the Parisian streets, fashions, and arts of the 1960s.

Remember the Hitchcock quote? "Movies are just like life, with all the boring parts cut out." Apparently Varda didn't get the memo. At some places, however, a faint glimpse of beauty shines through, the way a person's hair blows in the wind, the way the sun shines on a car. It's not enough to make this a great movie, but it's enough to make it watchable.

Cleo goes around the city getting bad omens prior to receiving the results of a medical test. A typical product of the French New Wave, Cleo From 5 to 7 is young, kinetic, features innovative camerawork and use of music similar to Godard, and is very cerebral. In fact, I thought it was overly cerebral but with a repressed undercurrent of melodrama that bursts out at key points of the plot. Sworn Godard freaks should probably see this, but to me it's unremarkable.

Varda had used elements from French New Wave and German Expressionism to tell how our perception of life is closely tied to our perception of ourselves here. It is a film with many delicate details that has the possibility of growing in oneself over time.

Fantastic anti chick flick (until it isn't) that occasionally goes all French on you. Good acting, great cinematography and more pointed use of editing than most of the New Wave I've seen. I wasn't a big fan of the use of music but it goes together with the films overall slide into melodramatic fairytale at the end. An excellent portrayal of anxiety associated with the conceptions of femininity that treats its existentialism with enough suspicion.

This is best understood as a flaneur film, an hour and a half of a woman wandering around Paris while she waits for the results of her biopsy, more or less in real time. Don't expect conventional plot or suspense. Cleo's vulnerable state as a woman on the edge of transformation leaves her open to everything as she studies the faces on the people on the bus and witnesses scenes of life in the great metropolis. It's greatness is in its portrayal of the delicate turning of her mental weather.

More than just a selfish cry for attention, Cleo's existential crisis is marked by a yearning for a genuine human connection, something I think anyone can relate to. While hopelessly flawed, she's anything but unlikable, a memorable character who despite her self-centeredness manages to invite the audience's sympathy. Varda's dialogues and direction are top notch.

Such a rich film, thematically and visually. Life, death, life. Isolation and connection. Aimless, purpose. There is much here to take in. And visually, the film never ceases to engage, with its regular use of close up, jump cuts, and naturalistic style. I am especially smitten with one cut near the end, Cleo and Antoine on a bench, then cut to extreme wide shot, a Lebanon cedar in the background. Beautifully and affectingly done.

Wow. I need to see more from her but on first viewing this might just put Varda ahead of her French New Wave contemporaries for me. Cléo is one of the most fully realized characters I've ever seen on film and there is an emotional depth to it all that I've been missing in other New Wave works. That shot of Cléo and Antoine walking at the end is perfect

both an exploration of a woman who's panicking about the possibility of having cancer and a day in the life of a famous singer. i have a lot of experience with the former and none with the latter. the parts focused more on the panicking are better, because some of the romance-related stuff is a bit cheesy. largely though it's up there with the bulk of the new wave.

Thank you, Agnes, for letting me be in room with Corinne Marchand for 90 minutes without pause. That should get the message through to everybody looking: always look at the bright side of things. Corinne finds some kind of bright side of mortality, so how could I ever find darkness in anything just because of my everyday problems? Ps. Fuck, those new wave basterds knew who to work a camera.

Filming a story in real time is a huge challenge that is almost the undoing of this movie, so difficult it is to build a compelling narrative, so mundane are many of the scenes that must be featured. That said, Cleo packs an awful lot into the time, and her wanderings through Paris are dripping with style: the polkadots, the minimalist bedsit, the mirrors, the silent masque. It's a procession of subtle feminism, gorgeously realised and just about tied together into a feasible plot.

This one didn't really grab me as I'm never quite on the same track as "mood" movies, and this one has it in spades, with the whirlwind tour of Paris with some spots I really wanted to linger on (the female cabbie, the frog man). I thought the highlight was the visit from the musical friends; on the other side, I'll have an ongoing fear of ever driving in France.

The premise is interesting, some of the themes are promising, and the short homage to silent comedies through Raoul's film is fun. However, it's rather uneventful, the slow tempo occasionally renders it a little dull, the incidents depicted feel disjointed, none of the actors stand out, the protagonist's anxieties and phobias and the backdrop of the Algerian War aren't fully exploited, the dialogues can be mundane, and the finale lacks the meticulous character growth that would make it resonate.

Beautiful, life affirming movie about finding meaningful human connections. The scene with her singing where the camera pans in the white room to her in front of a black background is tremendously done. Paris is photographed beautifully and the structure of a more or less real time story is well done. Good depiction of the anxiety of waiting for bad news.

As a photographer, Varda is able to stage just about each shot so thoughtfully, as well as incorporate the everypeople of the streets. The central character, otherwise, is a bit of a rollercoaster to digest, who we should empathise with due to her anxieties, but also comes cross as a vain and egocentric little white girl (and the film seems to know this). This existential horror film has quite a lot to end on, and ends the landing casually, but not as difficultly as it could've.

Nothing more modern than living in a big city and thinking you have cancer and few hours left. Cleo drifts through the streets observing magicians (one swallows frogs), people walking (and recognizing her as famous singer), stores -- every car ride is also depicted minute-to-minute, like the brave female taxi driver --, she meets her music producers, a friend who poses naked for artists and men at the park. Part melodrama, part doc about Paris through the eyes of a singer wandering about NOW.

Technically great with lavish camera movements and great cinematography - but the writing doesn't hold up. It takes a weird turn at the end that does not fit the tone of the film. There were some great scenes in the film, but then there were scenes that seemed like it was just filler to fill the "real time" gimmick. Again, there were some great scenes - that scene where she's singing a song is beautiful. And then there were scenes that were just awful.

Kul film der vi følger Cleo i timene før hun får vite resultatet av en legesjekk. Hun er selv overbevist om at hun lider av kreft, noe som preger væremåten hennes i stor grad.

A fun little film, full of all the experimentation and love of films and film-making that embody the French New Wave at its best. So playful and so fun. The ending, which is obviously on our minds a lot as the film rolls out, is exceptionally well handled and somehow manages to be satisfying despite both possible endings on paper seeming, in their own ways, unsatisfying. The film is in a way more intelligent than its playful and soufflé like outer shell lets on.

One of the best cinematography of French New Wave I've seen so far, which brings across ideas and captures the spirit of Paris in the 60s better than the plot, dialogue, and characters could. Characters and plot are mostly unbelievable. Dialogue is not too bad and has its great moments (some parts at the end and at the taxi scene) but the rest is not too remarkable. Still, its watch-able and entertaining and leaves an impression due to its cinematography.

Evocative, understated and immersed in a quiet power, Cleo de 5 a 7 is pretty much a perfect French film. It feels confessional, and makes the relatively mundane completely mesmerising - much like 'Le Feu Follet' by Louis Malle. the street and car scenes are particularly imaginative and, what's more, the whole thing is absolutely beautifully shot. Early Anna Karina popping up as well. There is a scene in a hat shop which has so much use of mirrors in a clever way, my brain malfunctioned!

Many of the films shortcomings can be forgiven by a pervading sense of giddy experimentation. Cleo herself is an annoyingly vacant dame, and her lenghty doe-eyed ruminations and blank stares almost had me surprised that she wasn't drooling and asking for hugs throughout the movie. But around her, Varda tries out a lorryload of nifty tricks and gimmicks, lending the film it's refreshing playfulness. If you're not into the french new wave, though, definitely leave this one on the shelf.

Like so many other films from the French New Wave, this isn't particularly interested in anything resembling a conventional plot. Meet Cleo, a French pop singer who's as delicate as a flower. For a while, we get to know her... and her maid, and her lover, and her songwriters, and her kittens... and everything's fine. Then the last half hour of the film is spent with a highly boring male who's desperate to loosen her undies, and that interminable sequence badly weakens the whole film

Interesting as an essay on female identity and voyeurism. These themes are backed up by some great camerawork featuring a lot of thought-provoking angles. The handheld camera is used to brilliant effect in some tracking shots that we would simply take for granted nowadays. Paris is also a spectacular character in the film. The plot left me cold and I could do without many scenes, particularly the last 1/3. But despite its flaws, it's also one of the most watchable French New Wave films.

Why am I supposed to care if she has cancer? Despite this, through great character development both Cleo and the film grew on me, and I'm not going to overlook the fact that the music is haunting and the camerawork superb. Still, I guess the French new wave just isn't my thing. Good, not great.

Not really on par with Godard or Demy (her husband) but still very effective in its tone and atmosphere. That liberating feeling of a jaunt through early 60's Paris is enough to fill anyone with a functioning heart with inspiration. The major problem is really with the lead character, which is hardly involving at almost any part of the film (perhaps except when she sings, but I'll credit that to Legrand's gorgeous songs).
