My #1 film isn't actually from my fav female director. It should be but for some reason, my #1 for this is almost screaming in my head to be picked as somebody's. And it was the first film I thought of when I read the thread title.

That's a movie not a director. The director is Chantal Akerman.

Jeanne Dielman is a film i doubt i'll ever watch. I understand its importance but man it sounds so tough to sit through. This part in bold from the wiki plot description cracks me up, makes it sound like it's an action scene
Jeanne Dielman examines a single mother's regimented schedule of cooking, cleaning and mothering over three days. The mother, Jeanne Dielman (whose name is only derived from the title and from a letter she reads to her son), has sex with male clients in her house daily for her and her son's subsistence. Like her other activities, Jeanne's sex work is part of the routine she performs every day by rote and is uneventful. But on the second day, Jeanne's routine begins to unravel subtly, as she drops a newly washed spoon and overcooks the potatoes that she's preparing for dinner.

I will eventually watch Jeanne dielman and I think I'll like it
Sounds like it's intentionally been made to be basically unwatchable.

Yeah i dunno. I hate talking like this about movies i haven't seen and i'm willing to accept that i may be totally wrong. But unless i've been misinformed about it it's just four hours watching a woman going about a dull routine. Four hours watching her clean dishes and cook dinner with a few brief deviations from that formula. Always got the impression that people respect it for its importance to feminist cinema rather than actually enjoyed it.
Again i could be wrong though and the potato burning scene does sound thrilling

Make sure you don't watch it late at night, the spoon dropping sounds terrifying.
