Directed by Chantal Akerman
Starring Delphine Seyrig, Jan Decorte
Academy is proud to present Chantal Akerman’s legendary masterpiece (which she directed at the age of 25) on the big screen, recently voted number 1 on Sight & Sound's once in a decade poll of the best films ever made!
One of the most profound portraits of feminine alienation under patriarchal capitalism, JEANNE DIELMAN is a seminal piece of feminist countercinema. Starring one of our favourite actresses of the era, Delphine Seyrig (LAST YEAR IN MARIENBAD, DAUGHTERS OF DARKNESS, THE DISCREET CHARM OF BOURGEOISIE).
Chronicling three days in the life of Jeanne Dielman, a widowed housewife and sex worker living in Brussels, this film provides a radical portrayal of the minutiae of domestic, feminised labour that has largely been rendered invisible both within cinema and in wider society.
