Cléo from 5 to 7 (1962)

One of the Oscar nominees for Best Documentary Feature this year, as well as my favourite, was Faces Places, a beautiful tribute to France, art and friendship directed by Angès Varda and JR. That's when I decided to check out Varda's filmography but if it wasn't for the people who mentioned Cléo from 5 to 7 (French: Cléo de 5 à 7) in their Thursday Movie Picks, I don't know when or if I would have watched it. 

Cléo (Corinne Marchand) is a hypochondriac French signer who is afraid of getting the result of a test from her doctor. She thinks she has cancer and that she will die. While waiting for the result, she visits a fortuneteller (Loye Payen) who too says she is dying. This completely affects the way she approaches the day, from her encounters with friends to what she observes in strangers.
