About
Jeanne Dielman, 23, Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles

An uncommonly hypnotic and entirely unique, this potato-peeling epic MUST be seen in one sitting, with no bathroom breaks! Seyrig's acting borders on performance art in her carefully controlled but absolutely stunning portrayal of the titular housewife. It shows you an entire world, a woman crumbling in front of you. Once seen, it is impossible to forget. No other film makes spilling milk so heart stopping.
