What kind of film is "Jeanne Dielman"? It is a three-and-a-half-hour film by Akerman from 1975, known as a famous "feminist" film, and it is also a film rich in revolutionary spirit both in form and content. In short, this film, made by the Belgian female director Akerman in her early twenties, is enough to earn her countless film critics and film historians' recognition. Its uniqueness and avant-garde quality far exceed our imagination; I believe there has never been and will never be such a wonderful viewing experience again! The film’s content can be summarized in one sentence: the daily life of a middle-aged widow over three days (the film actually covers the period from the afternoon of the first day to the afternoon of the third day, totaling just slightly more than two days). The shooting method is also very "simple"—fixed long takes (the choice of camera positions is very strict, for instance, the kitchen is covered by only two camera angles: front and side, resulting in just a few camera positions throughout the film). The film's settings are equally "monotonous"—over 90% is shot in the apartment where Jeanne Dielman lives.
