    Exposing the position of the narrator (or the cameraman, the two are often combined in granny films) is one of the important sources of its "subjectivity", and it also coincides with the historical background of the new wave - the camera took to the streets . The exploration of time reflects the director's interest in both reality and fiction. There's nothing wrong with the story...

    over! My idea for a road movie in NYC Varda had already done so well in Paris...she really is that naive creator. I said how the girl in the silent film looked like Anna, it turned out to be Anna and Pimple. Across time and space, the feelings of many female protagonists made my heart feel tight; I especially liked the last two people walking out of the park and then taking the bus. Yes, it happened at that timing to meet someone who pulled...

    What a beautiful movie, Cleo's five to seven o'clock is only 1/100,000 of her life, but to the audience, it is already...

    In memory of Grandma Varda, the tarot cards, the mannequins, the shooting method of walking on the street, Godard and Anna on the McDonald's Bridge. The story time is equal to the screen time. It is said to be from 5:00 to 7:00, but in fact, it is forced to advance by half an hour to leave blank for...

    The old lady didn't come today, otherwise I would definitely ask why it was missing half an hour! From 18:00 to 18:40, Cléo watched a short film of a play within a play. The black and white dress and the sunglasses covered his eyes due to the worries of illness and death. Cléo took off his glasses and spoke the words of awakening, from a pretentious woman who was previously called "spoiled" to the beginning of director...

    Varda's first feminist/drama feature film, objective reality and abstract consciousness, life and art, public and individual, object and subject, ambiguity and duality of opposites. After the opening tarot cards are all in black and white, two hours have elapsed in the streets of Paris with numerous crowd scenes, a distorted perspective occupied by cancer panic. "Film writing" structural details, the figure often appears in the...

    The visual picture is pleasing to the eye, the composition is ingenious and unique, the movement of the lens is smooth, and the lens language is delicate and rich, forming a vivid intertext with the psychological state of the characters; the scenes, bridges and lines are designed with a strong humanistic and artistic flavor, and the interlude and soundtrack are light and agile. There is an interesting and vivid contrast with the melancholy gray psychological state of the female singer who is...

    What does a woman want most? Obviously, Cleo, who was sitting in front of the wizard, didn't know it. Between three and five o'clock, she seems to have lost her ability to think independently. Fortunately, "Cleo at Five to Seven" finally found the answer through an observation of himself and a continuous exploration of the world. Among the many curses that the consumer society has cast on her, the death of the soul is undoubtedly the most terrifying one. There is no shortcut for women to gain...

    Cleo's fear/anxiety comes from two sources: uncertainty about the future and individual loneliness. For her, the only way to relieve anxiety is to get the exact answer and find someone who shares the same anxiety as her. At the end of the film, she was happy. Great taste in...

    Thanks to Varda's originality, it is gentler than other new waves, rich in metaphors but not stressful. Leaning against the car window and looking at the section, the intimacy seems to be traveling with the wind outside the window, and the silence is better than the sound. The summer solstice is the end of spring, but this does not prevent the beginning of summer in Florence. Inexplicably, I remember someone talking to me about Kenji Miyazawa: "It's just beautiful sadness that doesn't move me,...

    "Five to Seven O'clock" begins with a tarot card divination scene. The camera is a close-up of fingers and cards. This is also the only color scene in the entire film. Cleo's superstition of tarot cards is not fundamentally different from that of young girls who are superstitious about...

    sans toi

    After reading "Cleo from 5 to 7", the feeling of surprise is still accompanied.

    Cleo was a singing beauty, regarded by all, including herself, as a fine piece of china. But in the evening (5-7 o'clock) that day, she was anxiously waiting for the medical report, which was most likely a cancer...
