Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, Chantal Akerman, France, 1974, 198´. / FR sub. EU/ES
The best film in the history of cinema according to the prestigious magazine Sight & Sound. An unparalleled masterpiece that confirmed Chantal Akerman's talent and made her, along with Marguerite Duras, the spearhead of cinematic feminism. Delphine Seyrig gives life to the immortal Jeanne Dielman, a woman caged in the slavery of everyday life, condemned to repeat the same actions day after day while caring for her teenage son.
The life of Jeanne Dielman, a young widow with a son, follows an unchanging order: while the boy is at school, she takes care of the housework and works as a prostitute in the afternoon.
Session presented by Itxaro Borda (in Basque).
