Listen "Jeanne Dielman, Apal-Porsche 1600GT, 24 Heures du Mans 1977"
Episode Synopsis
Wade & Siggy are THRILLED to be discussing this little-seen, barely written-about 1977 sequel to Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, also directed by Chantal Akerman. This follow-up finds Jeanne Dielman behind the wheel of a race car competing in the 24-hour endurance race of Le Mans. Jeanne Dielman 1 made quite the stir after topping Sight & Sound's 2022 Best Films Poll, which begs the question: Why did S&S's write-up (nor anyone's, frankly) not contain even a passing mention of the existence of this sequel? Wade & Siggy dig deep into the (lack of) existing information on this production, and explore what connects the two films, where this one succeeds, where it fails, and what could everyone have possibly been thinking in following up the first movie like this!
