Following in the Footsteps of Cléo

Abstract

This study aims to analyse the film Cléo from 5 to 7 (1962) by following in the footsteps of Cléo who is a great representative of modern woman. In the embodiment of Cléo, some threads that are attributed to the women will be brought into the discussion, together with the artistic techniques subtly applied by the director Agnes Varda. This study whose aim is to discuss the film within the woman and city representation takes its basis from the feminist framework. Thus, how the long lasting women representations are subverted through the woman and city interaction, which bears a hope for transformation will be suggested.
