Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975)
Methodical film to match the methodical character

The film is interesting but not necessarily entertaining. Each scene is slow and methodical. The detailed sounds, click off of the lights, walking, and every days sounds make the scenes feel full given what's actually happening. The cinematography approach of fixed camera positions makes for a unique experience when compared to recent films. Using the same spots over as over in a room while partially hiding pieces of the room I found to add to the character's focused nature. The long scenes take away the idea of acting and given the impression you are watching the real life of a woman. I wouldn't recommend this movie unless you truly enjoy films. It's long and would be painful to watch unless you enjoy the fine details of film making.
