With this magnificent epic of experimental cinema, Chantal Akerman offers a feminist perspective on the stifling and frustratingly recurrent aspects of everyday life. Dominated by a commanding performance from Delphine Seyrig (The Day of the Jackal), the film sparingly depicts a homemaker and part-time prostitute struggling to raise and provide for her teenage son. As her patient, highly choreographed routines become strained, a remarkable portrait emerges, one that displays the full force and intensity of domestic estrangement.
Ranked 1st in the 2022 Sight and Sound Great Films of All Time poll.
Also screening at 7pm on Thursday 6 March with an introduction and post-film discussion as part of the QUAD Essentials season. Tickets to that screening can be booked at this page.
