Cléo from 5 to 7

ComedyDrama90 min

While waiting in 1960s Paris for biopsy results that may confirm cancer, a young singer spends the late afternoon drifting through shops, cafés, rehearsals, and chance encounters. Corinne Marchand is Cléo, a pop star whose public image starts to give way as the hours pass and her fear sharpens. Agnès Varda follows her through the city in near real time, balancing street-level observation with moments of stylized melodrama. Michel Legrand appears as Bob, Cléo’s composer and pianist, and a brief silent-film interlude brings in cameos from Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina.
