“Immersion cinema... a brilliant example of maximal minimalism that fuses viewer with subject so profoundly, the marathon experience transcends simple spectatorship.”
—Time Out New York
Three days in the humdrum life of a widowed Belgian mother: in near-real time, we watch as the title character (Seyrig) peels potatoes, runs errands, and entertains the occasional gentleman caller—leading up to one of cinema’s most shocking endings. Akerman’s landmark of slow cinema has been heralded as “the first masterpiece of the feminine in the history of the cinema” (The New York Times).
