Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1976)



Uploaded by: arcilsota
Video Description:
"Akerman's cinema focuses our attention on her smallest gestures, gestures that reveal character but would be lost in a more flamboyant film: a knife that almost slips when a potato is peeled, a light turned off unnecessarily, a facial expression of disquiet or of frustration, the curious act of making coffee in a thermos in the morning for drinking at lunchtime. The effect of such details, repeated and ritualized, is cumulative. Slowly the portrait is pieced together." Jayne Loader

Ce film est bouleversant et le making of qui a

In the late 70s, a striking contrast to American reptilian fX cinema, it entirely disrupted my narrative expectations, surprised with its quiet tension and temporal realism. These more than the cognitive dissonance and premis made it a landmark film for me, alone in having seen it for many years. Now it is benchmark-canonic.

Couldn't even find this on netflix! I saw it in college. It's over three hours long, and most of it is very much in the vein of this short clip that seems to go on forever. And yet, I was amazed at how easy it was to sit through. I was permitted my own thoughts. In a darkened Lecture Hall, I could daydream and come back to the movie at will. The actress was astonishing. She completely evoked her character without speaking or doing anything extraordinary (until the end!)

If you live in America, the DVD might be available at your local DVD store (and on the Internet, of course). If you live in the UK, you can buy the Region 1 DVD from the US Amazon website. I hope this helps... ^_^
