Cleo From 5 to 7 “explores very profound ideas in a way that feels as light as air. That is not an easy thing to do” (Andrew Haigh)
“One of the [French new wave] movement’s benchmarks, Cléo from 5 to 7 (Cléo de 5 à 7). Varda remains one of the essential cinematic poets of our time and a true visionary.” (DVD Beaver)
