Je, tu, il, elle

In her first narrative feature, Akerman offers a startling exploration of alienation, vulnerability and the search for connection. In a performance at once daringly exposed and enigmatic, she plays a young woman who, following a lengthy, self-imposed exile, ventures out into the world, where she has two very different experiences of intimacy. Culminating in an audaciously filmed encounter with a former girlfriend (Claire Wauthion), Je tu il elle finds Akerman wielding her radical minimalism and her sense of revolt against the system with a newfound emotional and psychological precision.
