Agnès Varda eloquently captures Paris in the sixties with this real-time portrait of a singer set adrift in the city as she awaits test results of a biopsy. A chronicle of the minutes of one woman’s life, Cléo from 5 to 7 is a spirited mix of vivid vérité and melodrama, featuring a score by Michel Legrand and cameos by Jean-Luc Godard and Anna Karina.
This movie contains 13 potentially triggering events.
Possibly, I'm not sure. During the silent film sequence, a blonde, pale white woman in a white dress walks away from a man. The man puts on dark sunglasses, and then the woman appears with a black dress, curly black hair, and a slightly darker skin tone. I'm not sure whether it's the same actress or if she's in blackface makeup.
Two characters approach the protagonist with a comically large representation of a syringe, as a joke.
Also, a street performer appears to have a rod pierced through his bicep, and he moves it around to show the crowd. This seemed the best place to put that CW.
Yes and it is central to the movie. The main character spends the whole film waiting to hear from her doctor whether she has cancer, which in the end she does.
A character sings directly into the camera, but there is no indication she is explicitly addressing the audience rather than an imaginary audience in her head. There are also some shots that might look like they are looking into the camera but they are just reverse shots during dialogue with another character
There are some comments throughout where people do not believe a woman could really have cancer and they think she is a hypochondriac. We do not know if this is true or not for most of the film. There is also a comment about how it’s lucky her symptoms are invisible so she’s still pretty
No, but a character does pose nude for a figure class and talk about why she enjoys it. There are also comments about male gaze and how a character is lucky her pain symptoms are invisible and do not affect her beauty
Whole film is about whether a character will be diagnosed with cancer, and she ultimately is. The doctor says her prognosis is good, and she is ultimately accepting and content by the end, but she spends much of the movie extremely anxious and depressed by the prospect. She mentions having belly pain as a main symptom
Cleo is told she has cancer but the doctor thinks two months of chemotherapy will be enough to fight it. We do not know if this is true, but Cleo seems happy and accepting either way. A man with her is also at risk of dying in the near future, but they are content to enjoy the time they have together, regardless of how long or short it may be.
