For the first installment of the Agnes Varda series, THE FEMININE MYSTIQUE, me and Carter discuss the film, CLEO FROM 5 TO 7. We talk about the French New Wave movement and Auteur Theory, and how Agnes Varda was the godmother of the French New Wave despite rarely receiving credit for kickstarting a genre that would influence many prolific film directors years later. We also cover how often women are dismissed for having feelings other than happiness, the reality of dealing with death and failing health, the hyperfemininity presented in this film among a sea of male film directors, and why men hate Astrology and anything having to deal with another world.
