Using a lexicon of ellipses, Akerman suspends, distills, and signifies life's loneliness, denotes its warmth, merging content with the direct release of its form; obdurate layering of meaning without plot: incomparably human. Film semiologist Metz observes image communication/signification, appropiate here: "A thing or a being yields its singularity through expression in a message that implies no answer." Flawless.
