Listen "Is “Jeanne Dielman” the greatest film ever made?"
Episode Synopsis
“Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles” was voted by the participants in Sight and Sound’s Greatest Films of All Time poll as #1. To get to the bottom of what makes this film resonate so deeply with viewers almost 50 years after its initial release, we spoke with Professor Catherine Fowler from the University of Otago, whose book on the film positions it as a ‘contrary classic’ that encourages ‘slow looking.’Purchase Professor Fowler’s book here: https://www.bloomsbury.com/us/jeanne-dielman-23-quai-du-commerce-1080-bruxelles-9781839022821/ Learn more about her work here: https://www.otago.ac.nz/mfco/staff/otago052275.html Watch Jeanne Dielman on the Criterion Channel or HBO MaxFollow the show on Twitter and Instagram: @IMPictureShowTo hear more from Izzy and Murtada check them out on social media: Izzy (Twitter: @bkrewind, IG: @bk_rewind); Murtada (Twitter: @ME_Says, IG: murtada_e)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
