{"product_id":"9781844571765","title":"Cleo de 5 a 7","description":"\u003cem\u003eCléo de 5 à 7\u003c\/em\u003e, Agnes Varda's classic 1962 work depicts, in near real-time, ninety\u003cbr\u003eminutes in the life of Cléo, a young woman in Paris awaiting the results of\u003cbr\u003emedical tests that she fears will confirm a fatal condition. The film, whose\u003cbr\u003evisual beauty matches its evocation of early-Fifth Republic Paris, was a major\u003cbr\u003epoint of reference for the French New Wave despite the fact that Varda never\u003cbr\u003econsidered herself a member of the core \u003cem\u003eCahiers du cinéma\u003c\/em\u003e group of critics-turned-\u003cbr\u003efilm-makers.\u003cbr\u003eUngar provides a close reading of the film and situates it in its social, political\u003cbr\u003eand cinematic contexts, tracing Varda's early career as a student of art history\u003cbr\u003eand as a photographer, the history of post-war French film, and the lengthy\u003cbr\u003eAlgerian war to which Cléo's health concerns and ambitions to become a pop\u003cbr\u003esinger make her more or less oblivious. His study is the first to set a reading of\u003cbr\u003eCléo's formal and technical complexity alongside an analysis of its status as a\u003cbr\u003evisual document of its historical moment.","brand":"BFI Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47054710702320,"sku":"9781844571765","price":17.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781844571765_p0.jpg?v=1763744810","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781844571765","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
