Notes: Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles


Background

There is nothing to talk about. I found it and watched it because I wanted to. Obviously, I was alone.

About

It is hard for me to gather my thoughts on it. I really like the pace. Three hours is enough for this kind of film. It is slow, and it does not need to be any faster, in my opinion. The main character is quite nice, and her routine is interesting to watch. I also love that the film has little to no dialogue, and there is also no background music, so viewers can enjoy the sounds of the real world and focus on the action. This also helps show how lonely the main character is, even when there are people around her. I like the color scheme of the film. It looks fake, fresh, and tired at the same time, which I think is good. The bathroom is genuinely atrocious, but I enjoyed its interior design in a weird way. I like the final scene. It is lonely and calm. You just stare at it for a long time, and then the film ends. Great. Unfortunately, this seems relatable to me, and it doesn't make me happy.
