 ou’ll never again make a meatloaf without thinking of this movie.\n\nThe
  surprise (and semi-controversial) big winner of the 2022 Sight & Sound po
 ll of the greatest films of all time\, pushing aside perennial top-spot de
 nizens Citizen Kane and Vertigo\, Chantal Akerman’s Jeanne Dielman is a 
 flat-out masterpiece\, whether you think it’s the best movie ever made o
 r not (fwiw\, here at VTIFF\, we have no objection).\n\nAnchored by Delphi
 ne Seyrig’s remarkable title performance\, the film is a minutely detail
 ed chronicle of three days in the life of a Brussels housewife. Her routin
 e is highly detailed and meticulously presented (the film’s 3.5-hour run
  time is integral to the experience). When little cracks start to appear i
 n the final third of the film… it’s seismic.\n\nCriterion calls the fi
 lm “Chantal Akerman’s masterpiece\, a mesmerizing study of stasis and 
 containment\, time and domestic anxiety. Stretching its title character’
 s daily household routine in long\, stark takes\, Akerman’s film simulta
 neously allows viewers to experience the materiality of cinema\, its liter
 al duration\, and gives concrete meaning to a woman’s work. We watch\, f
 or three hours and twenty-one minutes\, as Jeanne cooks\, takes a bath\, h
 as dinner with her adolescent son\, shops for groceries\, and looks for a 
 missing button.”\n\nSo Die Hard\, it ain’t\, but it’s a completely m
 asterful film and a welcome addition to the upper rungs of the film canon.
