Ep.542: Jeanne Dielman (1975) — The Greatest Movies of All Time

Finally, friends, our run through the Sight & Sound Top 4 Greatest Movies of All Time comes to an end in Brussels. We stop by a house to meet Jeanne Dielman, a masterwork from the innovative Chantal Akerman. This near 3.5 hour movie features a widow doing chores while waiting for her son. But, how does it stand up to time? Is it the greatest movie of all time? We discuss that and much more as we unpack Akerman's magnum opus. Join us now!
