202 mins - Belgium / France 1975 - Subtitles Director: Chantal Akerman Starring: Delphine Seyrig, Jan Decorte and Henri Storck Chantal Akerman’s landmark second feature follows the meticulous daily routine of its titular lead over the course of three days. Voted Sight and Sound’s Greatest Film of All Time in 2022, marking the first time a female filmmaker has taken the number one spot, JEANNE DIELMAN is revolutionary in its bold experimental approach to narrative subject and structure. Charting the breakdown of its protagonist, a bourgeois Belgian housewife, mother and part-time sex worker over the course of three days, the film rigorously records her everyday life in extended time and hypnotic detail. Screening as part of THE FILMS OF CHANTAL AKERMAN season “A hypnotic, subversive and profoundly rewarding experience.” Radio Times 

THE FILMS OF CHANTAL AKERMAN Triskel Arts Centre, in association with the British Film Institute, is delighted to present five features from the celebrated director Chantal Akerman. When J. Hoberman of The Village Voice wrote about her, he stated: “Comparable in force and originality to Godard or Fassbinder, Chantal Akerman is arguably the most important European director of her generation”. This season opens with her seminal 1975 film JEANNE DIELMAN, 23 QUAI DU COMMERCE, 1080 BRUXELLES, which was named as the greatest film of all time in Sight and Sound’s critic’s poll in 2022.
