Cléo from 5 to 7

Agnès Varda · 1962 CE · Film · French · Contemporary

Waiting on the result of a biopsy, a young pop singer moves through two hours of Paris: a tarot reader, a hat shop, her lover, her songwriters, a friend who models, a park. Everyone around her handles her as an ornament, and she starts taking off what she has been dressed in. A woman walks out of her reflection and into her own gaze.
