Agnes Varda's travelogue from the early 60's follows a singer's movements in a 2 hour stretch (ala High Noon, playing out in real time) as she awaits the results of a medical exam. What we find is the empty life the singer leads as she deals w/sycophantic songwriters, unnecessary spending sprees & visits to cafes for drinks that may fill the void which is her life. Very compelling as the journey says as much about the singer as it does Paris as well as being an important New Wave film directed by a female director who is still working today.
