Chantal Akerman’s minimalist masterpiece juxtaposes transfixing long-take shots of 1970s New York City (where she lived from 1971 to 1973) with readings of letters from her mother in Belgium. The contrast between the mundane familiarity of these domestic reports—family gossip, a mother’s fretting, imploring pleas to write more—and the bleakly beautiful, alien cityscapes produces a poignant reflection on distance, dislocation, and detachment.
