“As long as I am beautiful I am even more alive than others.” This was an 90 minute journey from fear of the future and death, to acceptance (even love) of the present and life. One word for the plot, melodrama. One word for the characters, harmonious. One word for the main character, chaos. Rabier makes a great use of automobiles as the film is linked together by a variety of moving POV’s, the cinematography is innovative and turns into a tour of 1960’s Paris all while you’re listening to the rhythmically naturalistic dialogue of Varda. I’ll knock it for several unusual editing choices, but Cleo From 5 to 7 is a great film: short, modest, and moving.
