Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles

Pathos and commentary are lost in Jeanne Dielman’s egregious running time, which has absolutely no business being 202 minutes long. If the aim of this movie was to create the most boring film in the whole cinematic history they succeeded.

Not every movie goer’s cup of tea, but nonetheless a groundbreaking feat in the use of long shot and a beautiful expose on the difficulties of womanhood

a slow-burn masterpiece that has aged as well as it has due to its simplicity, effectiveness, and phenomenal craft. i was completely drawn in by this woman’s life and was never disinterested, only intrigued as to where the narrative would go. perfect lead; one of a kind

very, very tedious. but i still wanted to keep watching!

Hmm. I watched it because it was regarded so highly. I can see the artistic vision pretty clearly and there is a very noticeable lack of concern for doing anything that might hold an audience. I probably won’t ever watch it again. Not sure what to make of it. Art?
