簡介。。。。。。

Writer/director Agnes Varda's Cléo de 5 à 7 is one of the more unassuming works in the French New Wave -- it has neither the historical gravity of, say, Alain Resnais's Hiroshima Mon Amour nor the shock value of Jean-Luc Godard's À Bout de Souffle -- but in its own quiet way, it offers a meticulous record of one woman's capacity to observe, dream, and feel. In near real-time, we follow pop singer Cléo (Corrine Marchand) as she waits for her doctor's veredict on a cancer test; though the subject matter is heart-rending, Varda's athletic direction prevents the film from becoming a cloying weepie. In true New Wave fashion, she incorporates any technique that suits her needs: a meandering soundtrack that picks up ancillary characters' conversations; subjective point-of-view shots; titles that separate the film into "chapters"; and documentary-style snatches of street life. Instead of cluttering the film, Varda's flourishes have a breezy, existential quality that underscores Cléo's impending news without trivializing her predicament. Marchand aids the director immensely; her intuitive performance suggests a brainier Marilyn Monroe afflicted with spiritual malaise. -- Michael Hastings

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。推薦指數：8.5/10

《五點到七點的克萊奧》是瓦爾達的第二部長片，表現了一位法國女歌手在等待醫院診斷結果的兩小時中的心理活動，以大膽的導演構思、對複雜表現手段的靈活運用、演 員的出色表演而成為新浪潮的重要代表作之一，確立了她作為一名成功的女性導演的地位。此片也是“女性主義”電影的代表作。導演瓦爾達1928年出生於布魯 塞爾，1954年，她組建了塔里瑪斯影片公司，編導了一部風格界於故事片和紀錄片之間的《短岬村》。這部影片早於新浪潮電影運動4年而成為其先聲作品，巴 讚說這部難以歸類的影片“自由而純淨”，法國電影史學家喬治•薩杜爾稱之為“法國新浪潮的第一部影片”。此後，瓦爾達以“新浪潮之母”的盛譽聞名於西方影 壇。(轉)
