Akerman introduced a 2002 documentary last night
turning a camera on and allowing the marginalized to speak into it when others do not, just like utilizing camera and actors in the ways her dramatic films do, constitutes a political action. Akerman’s way of being political—rejecting the traditional narrative arcs that three-act films offer us—is unusual among today’s independent filmmakers. Today, having women involved in the production of a cultural product, or foregrounded in it, is generally seen as sufficient ground on which to stake a feminist claim. It was once a given that a feminist narrative ought not be constructed from the same forms that had for so long been the conduit only for male ones: and so viewers watched a woman go about her day for three excruciating hours.WiFilmFest 2012 review: Frames
An example of its manneredness is that every time someone finishes a line of dialogue, you can always say "one Mississippi" in your head before anyone reacts to it, such as with their own dialogue, or perhaps a facial reaction. In the post-film Q&A, cinematographer Aaron Granat called these "pregnant pauses" a suspense-building technique, but I have to differ -- whatever soupçon of suspense you experience from this the first 20 times ultimately contributes to a...

I counted at least four sequences where I believe the filmmakers expected to get a chuckle out of their audience that didn't come. My dad won't be home for more than an...The Humanists: Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai ...
we get a widow, her son, three days in mid-1970s Brussels, and the preparations for those days' three dinners. Bear with me. The titular widow's precisely scheduled days have her cooking breakfast, polishing shoes, buying ingredients, preparing impressively bland dinners out of those ingredients, eating those dinners in near-silence with her son Sylvain,... If you're looking for indicators of homes in chaos, mothers selling sex would seem promising, yet Jeanne, whose face at certain angles looks like a death mask of domestic efficiency, could hardly have regimented her household further. Later revised to "All good films are the right length," the line now applies to the film that much more directly. " To be sure, nothing in the film refutes that interpretation, but almost everything in the film hints at a deeper, stranger, far less identifiable depravity. Jeanne and Sylvain step out of the apartment and into town at the same time every evening. even right after seeing a "client,"......

WiFilmFest 2012 review: Frames
After the film, Colvin, Granat and editor Tony Oswald ran Q&A, which included some justifiably befuddled viewers who hadn't realized to what they were signing up for, as well as attuned audience members who compared the film favorably to Jeanne Dielman

Back in 1975, Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles treated both that supposedly mundane subject and the issue of part-time prostitution in memorably powerful fashion. But Szumowska undermines her skewering of the
