a film which hits home for me
This review is for the Criterion Collection DVD edition of the film. As a cancer survivor, I feel for the woman in this movie.This film occurs in almost real-time like the TV series 24. The 90 minute film covers the events between 5 and 7 PM as a woman awaits the results of a biopsy. She goes through town and meets various people. The film has great acting and has a full-color sequence at the beginning of the film when cleo is seeing a Tarot card reader in an attempt to predict what will happen to her. The original French title of the film is "Cléo de 5 à 7"The Criterion DVD does not have any special features which is rather unusual for a Criterion Collection DVD.
