Cleo – Mittwoch zwischen 5 und 7 (1962)

Cleo – Mittwoch zwischen 5 und 7: Directed by Agnès Varda. With Corinne Marchand, Antoine Bourseiller, Dominique Davray, Dorothée Blanck. Cleo, a singer and hypochondriac, becomes increasingly worried that she might have cancer while awaiting test results from her doctor.

“I loved this film. I wasnu0026#39;t expecting to, but from the very beginning you are drawn into Cleou0026#39;s world. You understand a woman whom nobody understands, something that is extremely hard to do but Agnes Varda carries it off beautifully. Her coworkers donu0026#39;t care for her, her lover isnu0026#39;t really in-tune with her life, and her best friend likes her, but is busy with her own life. It isnu0026#39;t until she meets the someone new, someone who like herself is about to face a real danger, that she not only faces her problem, but can in a sense conquer it. Itu0026#39;s not an easy film to explain, but itu0026#39;s beautifully done and a true winner. I heard that they want to remake it with Madonna. It would be nice for it to be in English, but a remake isnu0026#39;t necessary. They certainly got it right the first time.”
