Synopsis

In Chantal Anne Akerman’s early short film, La Chambre (1972), we see the furniture and clutter of one small room in an apartment become the subject of a moving still life—with Akerman herself staring back at us. This breakthrough formal experiment is the first film the director made in New York.
