A Conversation With CHANTAL AKERMAN // Venice 2011

[@stoicepictetus3875]

For me she has enriched society by letting us look at her, ourself and other people. She was a thinking, feeling, very courageous human being. The world has lost depth when she passed away.

[@lepetitchat123]

what?

[@barbfrmsf]

may she rest in peace thanks for sharing your talent with us

[@josefhopper4192]

She is deeply missed in cinema.

[@Alexander-tj2dn]

I just saw "Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles" and was impressed. It´s a pitty she took her life so young. Great talent.

[@marafernandaibarragarca3500]

She was really lovely. I don't think she was lost.

[@frenchfilmbug2]

Very interesting! Also, interesting to note her perspective on Juliette Binoche, commercial cinema, and her mother's experience; as it relates to her films and work as an artist. Thanks for posting!

[@ChantalAkermanFilms]

incroyable, magnifique, merci Chantal

[@priyac7054]

I absolute BELIEVE we are to this day ROBBED of some unbelievable joyful pleasures, wisdom and many wonderful experiences through her films in réel and words in réal life, since she's left us 💜👑

This is great. Ask Akerman a question, and she'll pour all over you. She has so much to say, and she says so much.

Ох....

[@TheEcritoire]

Chantal parle comme un prophète! Like a prophet, she hates idolatry. So do I! A:)

[@apissourios]

What is the Levinas quote she says? Show me a mans face and ....?

[@motleypsy]

I also searched for it and found it on wikipedia (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Face-to-face_(philosophy): "The face, in its nudity and defenselessness, signifies: "Do not kill me." This defenseless nudity is therefore a passive resistance to the desire that is my freedom. Any exemplification of the face's expression, moreover, carries with it this combination of resistance and defenselessness: Lévinas speaks of the face of the other who is "widow, orphan, or stranger."

[@MrSvenovitch]

OMG she completely ruined her skin and her voice with those nasty cigs.....look for earlier interviews and see what I mean

[@keo0147]

It's called aging.

[@mindsuck3042]

She looks normal for a 60 yr old

[@henriparatte9568]

The problem with her type of films is that the idea behind the films and the vision of the filmmaker are quite interesting, but the end result is far from convincing. Let's say that she brought some innovation to our ways of looking at the world. Otherwise, she's a typically Jewish-European filmmaker of her generation, someone who is...very lost.

[@scorpina69]

+Henri Paratte - try living as a lesbian feminist under patriarchy, AND as a daughter of a holocaust survivor! It would help to listen to what she is saying in this interview. I find your comment 'quite lost' too.

[@henriparatte9568]

I listened to that interview. She jumps from one idea to another without much logic to most of it.

[@scorpina69]

+Henri Paratte no need to judge her or call her 'lost'. This interview makes perfect sense to me, could this be because I'm a woman and know where she's coming from?

[@irenel.7851]

+Henri Paratte Your comment sounds strangely anti-Semitic ...

[@waynej2608]

She seems to be quite inspired and motivated. Her films, for me, are captivating and refreshing. They're a nice respite from the mainstream. She took what resources she had, overcame vast obstacles and made the type of film and art, that she wanted to make. I'd say that makes her and her work, fairly far from 'lost'.
