Why is Jeanne Dielman considered such an important film?
I just finished watching Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. Can anyone explain the cultural significance of this movie? I’ve genuinely never seen anything like it.
I didn’t really find it entertaining or even especially thought-provoking while watching, but it felt important in a way I can’t fully articulate. Was the impact more about the filmmaking style and what it represented at the time?
