SPOTLIGHT on AGNÉS VARDA:
Cléo from 5 to 7
Selfish pop singer Cléo (Corinne Marchand) has two hours to wait until the results of her biopsy come back. After an ominous tarot card reading, she visits her friends, all of whom fail to give her the emotional support she needs. Wandering around Paris, she finally finds comfort talking with a soldier in a park. On leave from the Algerian War, his troubles put hers in perspective. As they talk and walk, Cléo comes to terms with her selfishness, finding peace before the results come back.
To celebrate what would have been the iconic director’s 98th birthday, we’re screening three of our favorites from her decades-spanning body of work. Make it a Sunday double feature Jane B. par Agnès V. at 4:00 PM!
