About us
Dir. Chantal Ackerman, Belgium/France, 1975, 202 mins. In French with English subtitles. Cast. Delphine Seyrig, Jan Decorte, Henri Storck.
A woman cooks. A woman cleans. A woman runs errands. A woman takes care of her son. A woman sleeps. A woman wakes. Repeat the cycle. Akerman's masterpiece turns the mundanity of life's daily rhythms into an investigation of womanhood, stasis, tragedy and order, with Delphine Seyrig giving a performance of near-perfect stillness. Focusing almost exclusively on Jeanne's day-to-day existence, punctuated by the visit of clients for sex work before her son returns from school, the film's slow, methodical pacing produces a hypnotising effect that draws the viewer in.
Named by critics and scholars as the Greatest Film of All Time in the 2022 edition of Sight & Sound's famed decennial poll, Jeanne Dielman is a modernist masterpiece.
