CW: concentration camps, suicide mention What tragedies have our mothers endured. It seems clear to me that the world's improvements are minimal, that what "progress" we make in how oppressed people are treated by our oppressors is a minor fraction of what we deserve, of…
Sally Jane BlackApr 1, 2016"The opening frame of Chantal Akerman’s final film No Home Movie is a near-static shot of a barren tree being torn apart by vicious bursts of wind. The old tree doesn’t fall, but you have to wonder how it persists in spite of the surroundings. She holds her camera on this…
Willow MaclayOct 6, 2015"Where is Chantal?" Tying her shoes, getting up, closing the curtains, and leaving the frame as composed as she began it. Sounds continue, but their sources are offscreen. I don't know what drove Chantal Akerman to share so much of herself with us, but I wish I could…

reibureibuAug 20, 2015super frustrating. lost in the limbo between hyper-personal document and universal essay film, Akerman's portrait of her mother's final years (months?) is exactly the kind of record that we always tell ourselves we'll make of our parents and grandparents... a video…
davidehrlichApr 29, 2016We're all alone, even if we share our loneliness with others. There are bursts of childish exuberance as simple as pop music playing on the radio, mostly heartbreaking because of how much of a literal home movie this is. This is exactly the movie I would make in the same…
