No Home Movie

Chantal Akerman’s final film, which premiered mere weeks before her death, is one of her most intimate and personal. Akerman’s mother, a Holocaust survivor who raised a family in Brussels, has always been central to her daughter’s work. No Home Movie is a portrait by Akerman the daughter of Akerman the mother in the last years of the latter’s life. The result is a rigorous and fitting farewell from this troubling, demanding, and essential artist. (115 mins., DCP)
