    Fixed camera position/tile narrative/no soundtrack, get up, cook, eat, shop, take a bath, pick up, clean, chat, sleep, 201 minutes, a 3-day timeline in the movie, including Jeanne Dierman, the widow of Brussels 1080 Commercial Street 23 lifetime. The bland and uninteresting plot is actually life itself. Any slogan is meaningless. It presents the daily life of a housewife and speaks for women truthfully and straightforwardly. "My youth was but a gloomy rainstorm, occasionally pierced by bright...

    201 minutes is quiet but earth-shattering. Ackerman's choice of this extreme slow rhythm completely magnifies the character's predicament and heart. Maybe everything in life is just this slow and torturous, and in every mother's heart, there is a Ordinary and great Jeanne Dillman. 【2017.11.5 @QuadCinema in...

    It’s not so much that its narrative method is documentary-style... You can probably better understand that it is actually a collage of Douyin or live text that is 40 or 50 years ahead, because of the characteristics of a highly personal video perspective. "My youth was but a gloomy torrential rain. Occasionally, the bright sun pierced through thunder and lightning and heavy rain did so much damage. My garden was running out of ripe fruit. I had already arrived at the autumn of my thoughts. I...

    "So-called sober or not is just an illusion. When an individual has enough cognitive information systems, conflicting with each other, constantly asking new questions and having nothing to do with each other, more than his mind (whether he has drunk too much or not) ) when he can handle it, he will drown in the sea of ​​theory constructed by himself." (Li Yiqiao, "Another Man's Dream Reconstruction...

    I probably understand it, but I don't understand why it suddenly broke out, and then I often open the door, turn on the lights, close the door and turn off the lights and make a lot of noise... The last scene ends abruptly... A three and a half hour literary film, if you watch it in front of a computer, I guess it's been fast...

    It's hard to imagine that this super avant-garde film on the context of time and space was written by a female director in her early twenties. The particularity of this female film is that in addition to the change of the protagonist's identity, there are also hidden story branches. , at the end of ten minutes, the emotions of the previous three hours were suddenly released, calmly...

    Life is realistic, killing is freehand. Stillness and the undercurrent of life. There is no "woman's life", but life. If this film is feminist, it is because it treats three days in a woman's life as life itself. I wish there was a movie theater that kept Jeanne Dillman on all day, and everyone who walked through the trivialities walked in and saw the meaning at a...

    Between the ritual-like repeating scenes, there are countless thoughts that have been accumulated and brewed day after day, and finally a thousand worries are solved; the rather bold fixed-camera long shots are boring at first glance, and slowly drown in...

    Ackerman said he didn't want to make a feminist movie where a woman could be a man. But I like watching people do housework the most. Oh Wiener Steak. I want a set of kitchen utensils inside. Three hours doesn't feel long at all. Maybe because people are beautiful and everything looks...

    "The Mother and the Whore" by Chantal Ackerman


        What kind of movie is Jeanne Dillman? It is a three-and-a-half-hour film by Ackerman in 1975, another well-known "feminist" film, and a very revolutionary film in both form and content. In short, Ackerman, a Belgian female director with very few films, made this film in her early twenties,...

    I can't resist wandering, that's what makes it great

    The first time I watched it was at 18 minutes, the second at 35 and the third at 42. Then I allowed myself to get distracted, just like his son, I allowed myself to ignore her a little bit, after all, this is not too abnormal.

    In fact, I like Akerman very much, to the point that I constantly...
