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. Top ranking in Sight & Sound's latest poll of Greatest Films of All Time.
For three days, we follow Jeanne Dielman, a part-time prostitute whose life is ruled by routine – until cracks start to show. Akerman painstakingly constructs her film around repetitive actions, gradually working towards an eruption.
