CHANTAL AKERMAN IN THE SEVENTIES
complete 3-disc boxset

DVD RELEASE DATE: JANUARY 19, 2010


ABOUT THE BOXSET:
Over the past four decades, Belgian director Chantal Akerman (Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles) has created one of cinemaÆs most distinctive bodies of workùformally daring, often autobiographical films about people and places, time and space. In this collection, we present the early films that put her on the map: intensely personal, modernist investigations of cities, history, family, and sexuality, made in the 1970s in the United States and Europe and strongly influenced by the New York experimental film scene. Bold and iconoclastic, these five films pushed boundaries in their day and continue to have a profound influence on filmmakers all over the world.
