Description
In this essay, I discuss how filmaker Chantal Akerman sets up "Jeanne Dielman" as a means to study the psychology nature of the titular character through the course of three full days in her life. By doing so, Akerman allows us to break down this mental make up as it subtley shifts throughout the film leading up to its dramatic climax and resolution.
