SCREENING AT THE KESWICK ALHAMBRA CINEMA (SCREEN 2)


Voted the best film of all time by Sight and Sound in 2022, Jeanne Dielman is a lonely young widow, living with her son Sylvain following an immutable order: while the boy is in school, she cares for their apartment, does chores, and receives clients in the afternoon.


 Jeanne Dielman is inescapably a woman’s film, consciously feminist in its turn to the avant garde. On the side of content, the film charts the breakdown of a bourgeois Belgian housewife, mother and part-time prostitute over the course of three days; on the side of form, it rigorously records her domestic routine in extended time and from a fixed camera position. In a film that, agonisingly, depicts women’s oppression, Akerman transforms cinema, itself so often an instrument of women’s oppression, into a liberating force. Laura Mulvey, BFI
