Description
Mesmerizing. Hypnotic. Enormous. Spare. Singular. "Jeanne Dielman, 23 Commerce Quay, 1080 Brussels" is a powerful film from Belgian Director Chantal Ackerman, that follows in minute detail the daily life of a widowed mother in Brussels. We see Jeanne go about her life in long, unbroken shots for nearly 3 and half hours. The film explores women's place in the world and in cinema, documenting a very specific place and time but stretching it out so that it encompasses a universal experience. Named the greatest film ever made in the 2022 Sight and Sound Film Poll, "Jeanne Dielman" has gained many adherents and some detractors since the surprise placement at the top of the list, but few deny the heavy impact the film the film has on viewers.
