Classics

Many classic films are just as powerful today as when they were first released. We add such films from many genres to our schedule throughout the season. Many are shown on the occasion of their rereleases, in fresh, new or restored prints.

Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles

New 35mm print

(Chantal Akerman, 1975)

Fri, Feb 20 - Sat, Feb 21, 2009  |  7:00PM
Film/Video Theater

See one of the rare films to instantly enter the canon of global postwar cinema in a stunning new 35mm print.

Belgian-born artist Chantal Akerman has become celebrated over recent decades for her elegant gallery installations, but she gained international acclaim in 1975 with this astonishing feature, an epic narrative on the mysterious double life of a Brussels widow and mother. Delphine Seyrig inhabits the role in one of modern cinema's most hypnotic performances. (201 mins., 35mm.)
