劇情簡介
When asked to participate in the Cinema , of Our Time series, Chantal Akerman jokingly suggested herself as subject matter. She envisioned a film consisting solely of excerpts from her films, but when pressed by the producers to include footage of herself , Akerman grudgingly agreed , and divided the film into two parts . The first part opens with Akerman in her apartment , reading from a text directly to the camera , describing the problems she encountered making this film. What emerges from this mise-en-scene is a funny , often personal , and always thoughtful confession from this extremely perceptive filmmaker . Part two lets Akerman's films speak for her , taking clips from her extensive filmography and linking them anonymously until they form a new film. There are scenes from JEANNE DIELMAN , her best-known film, but also glimpses of several other works - forays into experimental film , comedic shorts , musicals , narrative features - including an early short that stars a very young Chantal .
