Klappentext
"A significant and original contribution, not just to Akerman scholarship, but to film studies generally."--David James, University of Southern California

Zusammenfassung
Through films that alternate between containment, order, and symmetry on the one hand, and obsession, explosiveness, and a lack of control on the other, Chantal Akerman has gained a reputation as one of the most significant filmmakers working today. This title presents the study of this influential avant-garde Belgian filmmaker.
