Varda's Cleo from 5 to 7 was filmed in Paris at the beginning of 1960s. it's a meditative black and white account of one summer afternoon in the life of the film's main character. if you've seen Le Feu Follet by Louis Malle, you'll know what to expect, both in terms of visual style and ambiance.
there's nothing much to say about the plot, simply because the main character is the city. Paris in the 60s is portrayed with extraordinary tenderness and profundity. everything shimmers with elegance: pedestrians' outfits, cars, streets, cafes, faces, crossroads, gardens and bodies. visually enthralling.
