I've said this film many times, but I haven't written it. It is the most appropriate to write now, for you and for you. One of my favorite Granny Varda films. One characteristic of the French New Wave is that it ends well. A scene stops abruptly, and it is definitely not sloppy. As for the aftertaste, I want to watch it a few more times. Cleo's tangle in the past two hours. It captures most of the confusion that occurs in our small lives. Then she patted her shoulders and told us that in the face of the war between right and wrong in everyone's small world, everything should be less optimistic, more sunny, and more positive. The film uses a lot of jump cuts and visual montages. Varda almost always uses long takes when looking at the scenery outside. At that time, a friend asked me that I felt that Varda's footage was a little difficult to understand, but it wasn't that Yunshen didn't know where to go. It just wanted to be complicated. Varda and most of the French New Wave directors have a characteristic, that is, the use of the lens to integrate the audience into the film, forming a first-person visual experience. Whether it's Cleo's bedroom smoking decadent hypocritical, or emotional singing, or watching a street artist's performance, playing his own songs and thinking that it will attract attention and wearing sunglasses, and meeting friends, every time Every scene is very similar to us in life. This film does not let Renoir express in many ways, nor does Truffaut's childhood portrayal, but Cleo's last sentence "I think I'm all right." Just hit the sore spot and reflect on yourself.

    The mother of the new wave is indeed extraordinary. In real time, the contrast between color and black and white tone highlights the psychological changes of the characters. There are several scenes that are very beautiful, the kind of beauty that maybe only female directors can shoot and only female actors can express.

Cléo from 5 to 7 quotes

  • Florence, 'Cléo Victoire': Music!

    [singing]

    Florence, 'Cléo Victoire': My precious and capricious body, The azure of my daring eyes, My alluring figure is the bait, That will never deceive, Everyone longs to taste, The flavor of my lovely lips.

  • Florence, 'Cléo Victoire': Have you ever been in love?

    Antoine: Often, but never as deeply as I wanted. Girls just like to be loved. They're afraid to give themselves, to lose something. The love by halves. Their bodies are playthings, not their lives. So I stop halfway too. Excuse me for saying all this.

    Florence, 'Cléo Victoire': No, you're right.
