As Cléo descends the stairs and the music starts, a peculiar wave of comfort comes over me. She stares at herself in the mirror and reaffirms that she is alive and beautiful.
This film, as existential as it gets, constantly brings you back to comfort. The direction is truly perfect. Every movement, camera angle, and edit was seamless. Even in the darkest moments there is an uncanny feeling of hope.
I deeply love this film.
