Domestic Horror and Protest: Anton Dolin on the Film "Jeanne Dielman"
In the "Classics" section, Anton Dolin discusses films considered great and iconic—and how they achieved this status. "Jeanne Dielman, Quai d'Commerce 23, Bruxelles 1080"—in 2022, this film, with its complex title, topped the list of the greatest films in history according to the influential publication Sight&Sound.
Belgian director Chantal Akerman is considered one of the leading women in world cinema, yet her film "Jeanne Dielman" is unlikely to be familiar to the general public. This is a complex film: it runs over three hours, and most of the screentime is taken up by the monotonous routine of its heroine, a middle-aged widow named Jeanne Dielman. However, her life is only seemingly boring. The film will feature sex, suspense, and a bloody climax.
