Cleo from 5 to 7 [Cleo de 5 a 7]

N.p. N.p., Circa 1962. Vintage borderless reference photograph of director Agnes Varda on the set of the 1962 French film. With a stamp noting Varda's name on the verso, along with manuscript pencil and ink annotations.

Agnes Varda's second feature film, following a pop singer over the course of two hours as she talks with friends and anxiously awaits the results of a biopsy.

Varda is an important and influential French director, writer, and artist whose work uses both documentary style realism and experimental film techniques to explore issues of feminism and social justice. A colleague of Alain Resnais and other Rive Gauche filmmakers, her early work, including this film, stylistically prefigures the French New Wave, and is today considered very much a part of it.

Set and shot on location in Paris.

4.5 x 6.5 inches. Near Fine.
