"Evokes a sense of impending doom, the daily domestic routine of a middle-aged widow. Her chores include making the beds, cooking dinner for her grown son, and turning the occasional trick. Her life is beginning to break down."
"A singular work in film history, Chantal Akerman's Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles meticulously details, with a sense of impending doom, the daily routine of a middle-aged widow--whose chores include making the beds, cooking dinner for her son, and turning the occasional trick. In its enormous spareness, Akerman's film seems simple, but it encompasses an entire world. Whether seen as an exacting character study or one of cinema's most hypnotic and complete depictions of space and time, Jeanne Dielman is an astonishing, compelling movie experiment, one that has been analyzed and argued over for decades."
"Veuve ordonnée et mère d'un adolescent, Jeanne arrondit ses fins de mois en se prostituant à domicile, calant ses rendez-vous entre ses tâches ménagères, selon un emploi du temps immuable, répété jour après jour. Un matin, le réveil sonne une heure plus tôt et dérègle cette mécanique sans vie, libérant d'un coup toute l'angoisse refoulée..."
"In documenting three days in the life of a Belgian petit bourgeois widow, housewife and mother this film invites the distanced involvement of the viewer. Jeanne follows a rigid routine which is filmed in medium shot with long takes (some scenes in a single take of up to five and minutes) with a relentless refusal to cut back and forth in the classical manner. The painstaking documentation of detail is designed to draw the viewer into the process of daily domestic ritual. Small disruptions have an increasingly unsettling effect as they build towards the final act."
