Abstract

In Agnès Varda's Cléo from 5 to 7 (1961), the protagonist's transformation from feminine masquerade to flâneuse occurs as a result of her involvement with a city, specifically Paris. Positing the possibility of a female flânerie, this essay establishes a connection between Agnès Varda and the writers George Sand and Virginia Woolf, thereby showing how a woman walker—a flâneuse—lays claim to subjectivity .
