I’m admittedly not well versed in Akerman’s work, though I did manage to duck into a Metrograph screening of ā€News From Homeā€ sometime during the eight months I lived in NYC. I was really taken with this one, though, newly released in a 4K restoration as part of a retrospective Criterion Collection box set.
Aurore ClĆ©ment (who I primarily associate with the twenty minutes of Paris, Texas that I can usually make it through before falling asleep) gives such a restrained, natural performance in the titular role. Akerman’s shot compositions are so extremely static that they truly give the feeling of being a wordless observer of the scenes she’s directing ClĆ©ment through. Iā€˜m sure there are many great essays on how Akerman leverages voyeurism, and I look forward to doing some deep diving here.

I love the relationship between these two iconic filmmakers – two wildly talented gals meeting in their 20s, discovering New York together in the 1970s, further developing + expanding their artistic voices, deeply supporting and nurturing one another’s ideas, all while exposing each other to new forms of expression and experimentation. The magic that came out of their collaborations (Hotel Monterey, News from Home, Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles) as well as their individual work is amazing and highly worth a deep dive.

Watched Chungking Express for the first time last week and it brought California Dreamin back into my life in a sort of obsessive way
