Jeanne Dielman 23, Quai du Commerce 1080 Bruxelles
Chantal Akerman / BE, FR, 1975 / 202 min.
At the age of 25, Chantal Akerman broke through internationally with this searching and highly influential masterpiece. Delphine Seyrig is riveting as a Brussels housewife whose daily routine is meticulously recorded.
Jeanne Dielman was voted one of the best films of the 20th century by American magazine The Village Voice, and the best film ever directed by a woman in a poll of IndieWire critics. Akerman painstakingly constructs her film around repetitive actions, building gradually towards an explosion.
