Chantal Akerman Collection: Volume 1 - 1967-1978

£54.99

Released: 24th February 2025. Born in Brussels in 1950 and the daughter of Holocaust survivors, Chantal Akerman directed more than 40 films (short, medium, and feature-length) in almost 50 years, spanning fiction, documentary, musical comedy and literary adaptation. Today she is regarded as one of the most important and influential directors of her generation. Akerman's personal, non-conformist body of work has become increasingly relevant since her death in 2015, resonating with cinephiles globally as well as filmmakers including Joanna Hogg (The Eternal Daughter), Payal Kapadia (All We Imagine as Light), Celine Sciamma (Petite Maman), Sean Baker (Anora), Alice Diop (Saint Omer) Jacques Audiard (Emilia Perez) and Charlotte Wells (Aftersun) citing her radical and experimental approach to filmmaking as a direct inspiration. Representing the first significant release of Chantal Akerman's work in the UK, this 5-disc set spanning 11 years includes her most famous film, Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975), which topped the Sight & Sound Greatest Films of All Time Poll in 2022. The Films: Examen d'entree INSAS x 4 (1967), Saute ma ville (1968), L'enfant aime ou je joue. (1971), Hotel Monterey (1972), La Chambre (1972), Hanging Out Yonkers (1973), Le 1 5/8 (1973), Je tu il elle (1974), Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975), News from Home (1976), and Les Rendez-vous d'Anna (1978).
