Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles
From Sat 08 to Sat 15 FebA singular work in film history, Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles meticulously details, with a sense of impending doom, the daily routine of a middle-aged widow.
Akerman’s film seems simple but it encompasses an entire world. ‘Whether seen as an exacting character study or as one of cinema’s most hypnotic and complete depictions of space and time, Jeanne Dielman is an astonishing, compelling movie experiment, one that has been analyzed and argued over for decades’ (Criterion Collection).
