Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (Retro Film) (DVD)

VOTED THE BEST FILM IN HISTORY IN SIGHT AND SOUND'S 2022 POLL

Sight & Sounds prestigious poll on the best films ever made, conducted every ten years since 1952, has a new and sensational gold medalist. After only three films—De Sica's Bicycle Thieves, Welles' Citizen Kane, and Hitchcock's Vertigo—– managed to win first place over the years (Welles' film five times), the gentlemen at the top have had to make way for a woman. The winner is Chantal Akerman and her 1975 film about JEANNE DIELMAN.

Delphine Seyrig plays the neat and quiet widow Jeanne in Akerman's minimalist, groundbreaking film unlike any other. We meet Jeanne in her home where she lives with her teenage son and goes about her daily chores. Washing dishes, doing laundry, dusting—and receiving sex buyers! Everything goes according to routine until an unexpected event suddenly shakes up her world...
