Jeanne Dielman, 23, Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975)

Settle in, listeners, because Julia Teti is back for this week’s
Extra Milestone, and it’s for an undertaking of very subtle,
methodical proportions. Julia and Sam have decided to touch on
the most famous work of the late, great Chantal Akerman with her
three-hour 1975 art house classic Jeanne Dielman, 23, Quai Du
Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles. Celebrating 45 years this past May, the
film has been revered by nearly all who have seen it, and
continues to signify a wholly unique exploration of a day-to-day
life seldom seen to this extent in cinema. With a legacy almost
as impressive as its title and runtime, we had plenty to say
about this monolithic milestone that continues to have a
tremendous impact today.
