Chantal Akerman is an iconic filmmaker.
The internet is a strange place.
The hermit moves her mattress around the space, almost as if measuring the environment, grafting her body and psyche onto the architecture.
Made with an entirely female crew and focusing on the stultifying household routines of an isolated woman, it was hailed in Europe and America as possibly the greatest, purest feminist film ever made, even if Akerman insisted that was not her intention.
