- Jeanne Dielman, 23 Commerce Quay, 1080 Brussels by Janus Films (The Criterion Collection) (Firm),dst; Kanopy (Firm),dst;
Delphine Seyrig, Jan Decorte, Henri StorckOriginally produced by Janus Films (The Criterion Collection) in 1995.A singular work in film history, Chantal Akerman’s JEANNE DIELMAN meticulously details, with a sense of impending doom, the daily routine of a middle-aged widow, whose chores include making the beds, cooking dinner for her son, and turning the occasional trick.. In its enormous spareness, Akerman’s film seems simple, but it encompasses an entire world. Whether seen as an exacting character study or as one of cinema’s most hypnotic and complete depictions of space and time, Jeanne Dielman is an astonishing, compelling movie experiment, one that has been analyzed and argued over for decades.. “To put it baldly—a great movie . . .Jeanne Dielman is the film that changed the face of contemporary European cinema.” —J. Hoberman, The Village VoiceMode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: European/Baltic Studies; Feature films. ; Foreign language films; Motion pictures; Classic Film;

Aleksandr Kaidanovsky, Alisa Freindlikh, Anatoly Solonitsyn, Nikolai GrinkoOriginally produced by Janus Films (The Criterion Collection) in 1979.Andrei Tarkovsky’s final Soviet feature is a metaphysical journey through an enigmatic postapocalyptic landscape, and a rarefied cinematic experience like no other. A hired guide—the Stalker—leads a writer and a professor into the heart of the Zone, the restricted site of a long-ago disaster, where the three men eventually zero in on the Room, a place rumored to fulfill one’s most deeply held desires. Adapting a science-fiction novel by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, Tarkovsky created an immersive world with a wealth of material detail and a sense of organic atmosphere. A religious allegory, a reflection of contemporaneous political anxieties, a meditation on film itself—STALKER envelops the viewer by opening up a multitude of possible meanings. Winner of a Prize of the Ecumenical Jury at the **Cannes Film Festival**. Official Selection at the **Venice Film Festival**. *"Arguably Andrei Tarkovsky's finest masterpiece, the Russian director's 1979 film is the culmination of a career-long preoccupation with memory, trauma and the relationship between subjective perception and physical reality." - Christopher Machell, **CineVue***Mode of access: World Wide Web.- Subjects: Feature films.; Science fiction.; Foreign films.; Motion Pictures.; Drama.; Motion pictures.;
