Cléo from 5 to 7

fear of death..." Using the sense of fear, anxiety, feeling unhappy, and restlessness, Agnes Varda tells a beautiful story of the identity crisis and existentialism in such a unique way. She also used themes like art, war , politics, humanity to tell that the world is full of ugliness, if that's what you are looking for. But it also has kindness, mercy, compassion, love and beauty. It's on you what you want to conceive. Cleo when she fears her death is near after taking a diagnosis test and talking with her tarot reader. While awaiting the results for that test between 5 to 7, she looks at the world and people in only a negative way and feels she is surrounded by death, ugliness and sorrow everywhere until she meets a stranger who changes a perception. It is one of the greatest achievements of french new wave films, it is so natural, so relevant, personal and so moving and very enjoyable to watch such a film on life in its simplest form. I love how Jean Rabier captures the paris city around cleo, The camera follows every move Cleo makes, as a character many areas of paris were new to her as she explores them for the first time, and we do to along with her. And each frame in the background tells a story which is singular and has its own life. With cleo we wander the city and its people by taxi, car, bus and on foot, and it's just so artistic in every way and its so comforting to watch.
