Varda’s classic portrait of a pop singer whiling away time in Paris as she awaits the results of medical tests.
With two hours to fill until she receives the results of important medical tests, pop singer Cléo wanders the streets of Paris… Evocative (almost) of real-time passing, Varda’s classic adopts a documentary-like naturalism – with one scene a glorious exception – even as it gets inside the mind of its understandably anxious protagonist. An unsentimental and incisive character study, and a vivid portrait of early ’60s Paris.
