Remarkable even by New Wave standards, Cléo de 5 à 7 is a moving and self-reflexive film from one of the period’s very few French female directors. As Valerie Orpen explains, Agnes Varda’s film about a woman awaiting the results of her cancer test is aesthetically innovative and politically aware, as well as an excellent document of the Parisian street life of 1961.
"Carefully researched, endlessly insightful, and highly readable analysis of the film. . . . This book is all you need for a coomplrehensive introduction to Agnes Varda and her world."--H-France Review
Valerie Orpen is lecturer in French cinema at the University of Manchester. She is the author of Film Editing: The Art of the Expressive.
