Every once in a while I think about Cleo From 5 to 7 and become absolutely verklempt over how Cleo spends the whole movie worrying about dying (she's waiting for the results of a biopsy that will tell her whether or not she has cancer) and all the people in her life are basically like "you're fine" "you're not going to die" "don't tell your lover, men don't like it when women are downers"....even her friend just offers a distraction....and how it's only near the end, when she is walking in park alone and is approached by a soldier on leave who's getting shipped back to Algeria later that night....it's only then that she explains what's going on to someone and he says he'll go to the hospital with her to cut the waiting short! And they go!!
At first when he approached her I was like, ahh, don't approach women in parks! But watching how the rest of the movie played out I realized that this guy was staring down the barrel of his own potential death, and that might be why he was able to help Cleo face her own mortality when no one else in her life was willing to engage with it.
