{"product_id":"clo-de-5-a-7-steven-ungar-9781838719364","title":"Cl駮 de 5 a 7","description":"\u003ci\u003eCl o de 5   7 \u003c\/i\u003e(Cl o from 5 to 7), Agnes Varda's classic 1962 work depicts, in near real-time, 90 minutes in the life of Cl o, a young woman in Paris awaiting the results of medical tests that she fears will confirm a fatal condition. The film, whose visual beauty matches its evocation of early-Fifth Republic Paris, was a major point of reference for the French New Wave despite the fact that Varda never considered herself a member of the core Cahiers du cin ma group of critics-turned- film-makers. Ungar provides a close reading of the film and situates it in its social, political and cinematic contexts, tracing Varda's early career as a student of art history and as a photographer, the history of post-war French film, and the lengthy Algerian war to which Cl o's health concerns and ambitions to become a pop singer make her more or less oblivious. His study is the first to set a reading of Cl o's formal and technical complexity alongside an analysis of its status as a visual document of its historical moment. Steven Ungar's foreword to this new edition looks back upon Varda's film-making career and considers her contributions as a female auteur and in the context of the French New Wave.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Steven Ungar\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1838719369\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781838719364\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e British Film Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.40h x 5.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Steven Ungar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45477181325567,"sku":"9781838719364","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f104c8d4-abd8-41f0-ac21-c874beba6866.jpg?v=1715919274","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/clo-de-5-a-7-steven-ungar-9781838719364","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
