Jeanne Dielman 23, Quai du Commerce 1080 Bruxelles
Chantal Akerman / BE, FR, 1975 / 202 min.
Chantal Akerman made her international breakthrough at the age of 25 with this powerful, understated drama. Delphine Seyrig gives a magnetic performance in this affecting masterpiece as a Brussels housewife being closely watched as she goes about her everyday life. Chosen by Ivo van Hove.

Theatre director Ivo van Hove: “Chantal Akerman returns again and again as a point of reference in our work. A world-class film about a housewife with a secret. Or how people seldom do – or can – show themselves as they really are.”
