Comments
Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles
1975 Belgium, France
An extraordinary correlation of film language --temporal, spatial, rhythmic, to female experience. Fierce inscription of point-of-view. A performance of exceptional grace and control.
Beau travail
1998 France
Choreography of cameras and (male) bodies.
