The Power of Varda




A short scene from one of the most visually powerful and one of my favourite French films, Cléo de 5 à 7 by Agnès Varda.
The film follows the charming Cléo on a voyage of self discovery across Paris as she comes to terms with her possible untimely death.
The cinematography is breathtaking creating a poignant reflection on the fragility of beauty and youth and allows Varda to paint a forboding portrait of one woman's struggle to gain a greater awareness of self.
