| Cleo walks the streets of Paris |
Very interesting film from documentary film maker Agnes Varga. it looks at the life in a day of a French singer in Paris as she waits for the results of a medical test. All throughout we learn of Cleo's agonizing wait while the world around her everywhere continues with its own affairs and couldn't care less of her awaiting fate. The director's interest barely touches Cleo's concern as the film almost drools on the life that swarms the Paris of the early sixties as she goes about the city. The people she knows and meets only add to the drama unfolding within her through their indifference. Though she doesn't know the result she sees this terrible thing happening to her and she is all alone among so many people who admire her. The scene where the doctor informs her of the result is priceless and her reaction a surprise. If for nothing else watch this film for the sights of Paris and a very watchable Corinne Marchand.
