No Home Movie

Chantal Akerman films her mother Natalia in their Brussels apartment, where quiet meals, hushed conversations, and fragmented memories unfold over two hours, with sister Sylvaine occasionally joining. Interspersed are Skype calls from Akerman’s distant locations—Oklahoma, New York—revealing how geography no longer dictates proximity, yet loneliness lingers in the gaps. A tender, unvarnished portrait of time, distance, and the ordinary rituals that hold a life together.
