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

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.

ooops thanks for catching my mistake. Fixing

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

I will eventually watch Jeanne dielman and I think I'll like it

good idea btw

What about it sounds good?

Sounds like it's intentionally been made to be basically unwatchable.

Idk something about it really appeals to me. I will write a review about it when I watch it. Who knows I might hate it



man I was just making a list of a bunch of art films I wanna watch for this then accidentally exited the tab

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

It's one I'll definitely check out if at my disposal. I say I can sit it out.

in fact because of this convo Im gonna get it from the library and review it in my review thread, ill mention you camo if you want

Thanks but i have mentions turned off.

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

I may have to watch it in shifts

itll be the longest film Ive ever seen

Gonna stare at this picture for four hours then cross Jean Dielman off the 70's list:

mainstream films by women

fast times at ridgemont high
clueless
near dark
point break
the hurt locker
zero dark thirty

Out of interest how's it going thus far?

But you'll miss out on the shocking spoon scene!

It's been dropped from Camo's cut
