Synopsis:
Recently rereleased, this pioneering classic and glory of the new wave depicts, in a kind of real time, two hours in the life of beautiful singer and glamorous woman-about-town Cleo as she awaits the results of her cancer tests and keeps an ear out for news of Edith Piaff’s recent illness. She befriends a young soldier, en route for Algeria, and possibly his own death.
Varda is sometimes referred to as the godmother of the French New Wave. Nothing could be more unfair. Varda is its very soul…
