    • Quotes

      Sylvain Dielman: [Referring to his dead father] If he was ugly, did you want to make love with him?

      Jeanne Dielman: Ugly or not, it wasn't all that important. Besides, "making love" as you call it, is merely a detail. And I had you. And he wasn't as ugly as all that.

      Sylvain Dielman: Would you want to remarry?

      Jeanne Dielman: No. Get used to someone else?

      Sylvain Dielman: I mean someone you love.

      Jeanne Dielman: Oh, you know...

      Sylvain Dielman: Well, if I were a woman, I could never make love with someone I wasn't deeply in love with.

      Jeanne Dielman: How could you know? You're not a woman. Lights out?

    Important, challenging modern classic
    Fascinating, powerful, hyper-controlled, super-subtle study of woman slowly coming unglued. Uses its 3 hour+ running time to put you inside the stultifying boredom and ennui of her life, and lets you see the tiny changes in her repetitive days that are powerful and meaningful barometers of the titanic emotions going on behind her blank masque. Not easy or 'fun' to watch. By definition (and intention?) it gets slow to the point of boredom at times. (Indeed NY Times critic Vincent Canby, who loved the film, jokingly warned that watching it 'could be fatal' if one was in the wrong mood.) But everything interconnects in an amazingly thought-out way. Every bit of dialogue (of which there's almost none) leaves a clue, or at least a trace. Fascinating camera-work; almost always static images. with every cut at 90 degree angles. And again, when that rule is broken there are specific thematic and storytelling reasons. A challenging, 'difficult' film, but one not to be missed.
